*** Matthew Jukes 100 Best Wines of 2013*** ***Decanter Magazine Top 10 Shiraz in Australia*** Country: Australia Region: Canberra District Varietal: Shiraz Vintage: 2012 Colour: Red Style: Dry Producer: Clonakilla Estate Description:Clonakilla was the name of the family's farm in Co Clare Ireland. The cool climate of the area gives gentle spices & red berry flavours. This Northern Rhone lookalike is a wonderfully fragrant wine with superb dept and balance. Ageing Potential: 5-7 Years Tasting Note:Superb pepper, red fruits and violet aromas. Ultra-fine texture, smooth and gentle tannins and a seamless finish. Remarkably complex for such a young Shiraz. A great example of this label.Read more at http://www.decanter.com/reviews/new-south-wales/clonakilla-shiraz-viognier-murrumbateman-canberra-district-nsw-2013/#765Jdg5ogiAzFvxG.99 Food Matches: Game / Duck / Lamb / Lamb
