Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 2008 received great a review from Peter Bourne in his article about the Canberra Wine district in the June Sydney Magazine for the SMH.
Of the Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 2008 he wrote: A striking purity of fruit sets the scene with lots of raspberry, dark cherry, white pepper and gamey characters interwoven with sweetly seductive Moroccan spice. A dash of viognier adds floral notes to the bouquet and helps soften the texture of the intense fruit tannins. This is a superb wine by any yardstick.“
