Clonakilla is best known for their iconic Shiraz Viognier — consistently rated among the finest wines in Australia and one of the most celebrated Rhône-style expressions in the world. The Viognier is the standalone expression of the variety that Tim Kirk co-ferments with Shiraz to create the iconic Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier — a wine of extraordinary aromatic intensity, cool-climate precision and Rhône-inspired elegance. The Canberra District's cool climate, high altitude and granite soils create ideal conditions for Viognier of extraordinary aromatic richness and cool-climate finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt
