Clonakilla Syrah 2013
Jeremy’s score 96/100 -
Clonakilla Syrah 2015
Jeremy’s score 96/100Musky dark berries, cracked pepper and charcuterie meats; luscious, savoury and mineral.

Clonakilla Syrah 2016
Jeremy’s score 92/100 -
Clonakilla Syrah 2017
Jeremy’s score 87/100Medium-weight, soft and forward, this rather simple and confectionary shiraz reveals a dusty scent of light red fruits, capsicum and snap pea backed by nuances of smoked meats and a hint of citrus oil. Supported by very fine, dusty tannins, it lacks true drive, depth and expression.

Clonakilla Tumbarumba Chardonnay 2018
Jeremy’s score 90/100 -
Clonakilla Viognier 1998
Jeremy’s score 92/100A big, forward, early drinking and savoury wine whose musky perfume of cinnamon, lemon blossom, fresh Fuji apple and pear precedes a generous, oily mouthful of thick, tangy and unctuous fruit of good length before a persistent chalky finish punctuated by lemony acids.
-
Clonakilla Viognier 2000
Jeremy’s score 93/100Almost bashfully reserved, but deliciously dry, chalky and refreshing, this wine has no hard edges at all. There’s a spicy nutmeg note to its perfume of lemon blossom and apricot, while a hint of dirty earthiness adds to the complexity and charm of its savoury long palate of peach, pear and apricot flavours.
-
Clonakilla Viognier 2001
Jeremy’s score 92/100A no-holds-barred viognier with punch and character, whose flaunting of its musky, almost wild and smoky varietal quality is reminiscent of a decent Condrieu. Spicy apricot and peach flavours are presented in a juicy, sumptuous and spirited palate of length and richness, before a nutty, savoury finish.
-
Clonakilla Viognier 2002
Jeremy’s score 95/100Very restrained, complex and unusually pure viognier, deliberately crafted with a minimum of winemaker-driven artefact. Delicate aromas of honeysuckle and apricot, quince and spices precede a supple, fleshy palate whose lemon meringue, stonefruit and cinnamon/clove flavours finish nutty, dry and savoury.
-
Clonakilla Viognier 2003
Jeremy’s score 94/100First-class viognier with a delicate and alluring perfume of honeysuckle, lemon blossom, cloves, cinnamon and apricot. Very supple, round and elegant, finishing taut and savoury, the palate reveals a restrained sweet core of delicate stonefruit, citrus and spice flavours framed by tangy acids. Precisely measured and delivered, with tightly integrated and restrained oak qualities, it’s a lesson in varietal viognier.

Clonakilla Viognier 2004
Jeremy’s score 84/100Slightly varnishy and estery aromas of spicy almonds, apricot blossom and honeysuckle precede a round, oily and rather oaky palate. It’s forward, confectionary and slightly hard-edged, lacking its customary shape and elegance, finishing a little blocky and angular. Possibly influenced by a stuck ferment.
