Clonakilla Viognier 2005
Jeremy’s score 95/100An outstanding wine; receiving the highest score I am yet to post for an Australian viognier. Its spicy aromas of apricots, cinnamon and cloves are backed by a pleasingly restrained background of reductive and meaty undertones. The generous palate delivers exceptional viscosity and vinosity, but has the tightness and focus to avoid any semblance of overblown characters. Fine and silky, it’s seamlessly long and persistent, with a refreshing and savoury finish.

Clonakilla Viognier 2006
Jeremy’s score 94/100A complex, musky, spicy and perfumed viognier whose sumptuous, fruit-driven palate culminates in a finely shaped finish of exceptional persistence and smoothness. Scented with lemon blossom and apricot, it’s creamy and nutty, with undertones of melon and acacia. Very elegant and seamless, with a persistent core of fruit and a refreshing, but soft acidity.

Clonakilla Viognier 2008
Jeremy’s score 95/100Crystalline and mineral, this savoury young viognier is fractionally raw-edged in its youth, but has the length and refinement to settle down with time in the bottle. Backed by dusty, musky scents of cloves and cinnamon, its nutty bouquet of apricot, melon and tangerine precedes an unctuous, concentrated and fleshy palate whose gentle, smooth and creamy presence overlies some angular skinsy, spirity aspects that have yet to integrate. It finishes long, dry and nutty, with a lingering core of bright flavour.

Clonakilla Viognier 2015
Jeremy’s score 92/100Very gentle and restrained, this smooth and creamy viognier has a lightly spicy, honeysuckle-like fragrance of melon, apricot and mineral notes and a round, generous but medium-bodied palate whose long and dusty palate delivers a restrained core of stonefruit flavour before finishing with lively acids and a savoury aspect.
