“Clonakilla viognier has the ability to mesmerise. Or close to it. This release impressed without quite taking me to a higher level. It has a power but not a great one; it’s more about delicacy than brute force. Unusually so. Flavours of ginger, melon, stonefruit and assorted florals draw you in and keep you there. It’s good. It’s measured. It’s a wine of a class producer.”
Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front, April 2016
Impressive aromatic concentration and a wealth of white apricot, white musk, super pure, hints of ginger and almond milk too. The palate has impressive supple fruit flesh; it's rich but not oily. There's a gently flinty edge and a very impressive airy lightness; such is the precisely judged balance here. Viognier at its finest!

Nutty aromas at first, reminding of slivered almonds. t's rich and complex, already delivering an array of superb aromas including spices and apricot. Full-bodied; a truly superb viognier.
