Clonakilla Hilltops Shiraz 2013
Jeremy’s score 89/100Deeply scented with pepper and spice, sweet floral notes and fresh, almost confiture-like aromas of cassis and raspberries backed by cedar/vanilla oak, this is a medium to full-bodied shiraz of elegance and fine-grained charm. Its initially sweet, juicy flavours of small berries and plums reveals faintly herbal, dusty undertones, become marginally hollow over its fine, crunchy backbone before finishing with fresh acids and a modest persistence.

Clonakilla Hilltops Shiraz 2015
Jeremy’s score 91/100A measured, stylish shiraz whose pungent, rather earthy and meaty fragrance of red, blue and black berry aromas, cracked pepper and fresh oak precedes an elegant, gentle palate of medium body and pleasing length. Supported by a fine, crunchy spine, its bright, juicy flavours of cassis, blueberries and dark plums knit tightly with fresh chocolatey oak, finishing with charming balance and focus. It leaves an impression of underlying strength and depth.

Clonakilla Hilltops Shiraz 2018
Jeremy’s score 91/100Handsomely oaked but likely to settle down with time, this young and peppery shiraz marries a spicy expression of small red berries, blackcurrants and blueberries with chocolate/mocha cooperage and smoky charcuterie notes. Finishing with brightness and freshness, the wine reveals a pleasing length of minty fruit supported by a fine, loose-knit undercarriage.

Clonakilla O’Riada Shiraz 2009
Jeremy’s score 91/100Deeply flavoured, and likely to age more like a pinot, this complex and savoury young shiraz of medium weight and Rhney aspiration has a fresh, musky and violet-like perfumed of blackberries, cassis, cloves and cinnamon backed by nuances of white pepper and sweet vanilla oak. Fine, supple and juicy, with deep fruit underpinned by fragile tannin, it finishes with pleasing length, and lingering notes of mint and menthol.

Clonakilla O’Riada Shiraz 2010
Jeremy’s score 92/100Likely to flesh out in the bottle, this sweetly fruited and supple red has a wild, heady and peppery bouquet of red cherries, dark plums and fresh cedar/vanilla oak lifted by musky spices and a viognier-driven floral perfume. Long, smooth and satiny, with an intense core of juicy, slightly jammy cherry/plum fruit underpinned by fine, dusty tannins, it finishes bright and crunchy with refreshing acidity.
