[SOLD-OUT] Clonakilla Eden Valley Shiraz 2020

 

"The 2020 harvest in Canberra District was hugely impacted by bushfire, so Tim Kirk and co at Clonakilla reached out to the good folks of Yalumba for some resources – here, the shiraz of some Eden Valley resource.

Interesting how much game meat, exotic-smoky spice and savouriness enters this wine, though it’s also distinguished for its ripeness, sweet fruit profile, dusty tannins and quiet opulence. It really feels like Yalumba and Clonakilla have become easy lovers here – savouriness, silkiness, the bolshy ripe fruit, concentration. Seamless flow, a little edgy and skittish through the finish. Between perfume and finish, though, there’s lots of pleasure here." - Mike Bennie, Wine Front

 

"In 2020 we suffered the catastrophe of losing our entire crop to smoke taint, a consequence of severe drought and the worst bushfire season in living memory. Generous friends came to our rescue with clean fruit from regions outside New South Wales.

The fruit for this powerfully fragrant, dark berried Shiraz came from the Yalumba vineyards in the Eden Valley in South Australia." - Clonakilla
