Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 2010

4 Jun

Grape                              : Shiraz blended with some Viognier
Country of Origin : Australia
Region                           : Canberra (Australian Capital Territory)
Vintage                          : 2010
Alcoholic Content : 14%

Damage to my purse : Bought from a wine distributor at S$89 (a great buy).

Characteristic :
Bright crimson-purple in appearance.  A medium bodied wine, and has intriguing aromas.  It has got layers and layers of perfumes and spices; very addictive nose.  On the palate, again, it was drawing and the taste was not obvious.  It has got fine berries, plums and raspberries, of velvety smooth, with defining tannins and subtlety.  Very long lingering cascading arrays of flavours.

MY TAKE : This wine was of opulent elegance, every sip drew you to want more.  By far, the best wine I have ever tasted from this region.

Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier is the best from the lot.

      Hi, where are you from?
      I bought the 2010 vintage in Singapore through a wine retailer, Wine Exchange Asia.
