100% Estate Grown Viognier and Semillon to make up this lovelly bubbly.

Clonakilla are famous for Viognier, but in two different guises. One as the compliment to the exceptional and etheral Shiraz Viognier that has catapulted Tim Kirk to winemaking fame around the world, the other as this wonderfully textured and veluptuous white wine. Full-bodied with potent honeysuckle, pear, ginger and apricot aromas.

Fiano is a rare white grape variety that is well matched to the cool climate of Hilltops, near Young, NSW. Fiano produces a refreshing wine with mandarin and fresh garden herb aromatics, the palate is textural and defined by lingerring lemon acidity.

Clonakilla's Viognier Nouveau takes a focus on creating a wine that displays the lovely characteristics of their outstanding Viognier at its freshest. Fermented in stainless steel and bottled early, the wine captures the vibrancy of the Viognier fruit in all its youthful glory. With heaps of flavour without the heaviness, this is a style ideally drunk in it's youth.

The 2021 Chardonnay reflects the cool year in the Hilltops. With coolness comes higher acidity. The acidity acentuates the natural fruit sugars and so the wine feels complete and balanced. This vintage went into new French Oak Puncheons and so the light oak tannins and flavours are evident.

The Semillon for this wine was harvested from the Flanders and Grove Estate 94 Blocks. Very low yeilds this year as the drought and dry land viticulture don't really match up that well. A drop of Sauvignon Blanc was added from the Cowra area just to give it a little more acidity.

The Pinot Gris from the Long Road range of the Eden Road wines has lifted aromas of strawberry shortcake and ripe pears. These delicate characters are balanced with fine natural acid and textural palate. The slightly extended skin contact prior to pressing gives the wine the lovely pink colour, making it evermore appetizing. The finishing is crisp and clean. Simply seamless.
