Welcome to 2026! Better known for their esteemed Australian paradigm expression of the northern Rhòne Valley shiraz viognier blend, Clonakilla from the Canberra District in Australia also produce a first rate riesling. It is remarkable value. Cellared since purchase, the 2007 vintage tasted at 18 years’ of age has aromas of minerals, butter and toast. The palate has a biscuity, buttery character not unlike a Christmas biscuit selection. The palate has harmonious, well integrated high acidity. This is joyous aged riesling.
