October frosts reduced yields significantly, but the season that followed was evenly warm with rainfall at the appropriate times.\u003cbr\u003eThe late summer and early autumn were glorious. The fruit that survived the frost delivered powerful aromas and intense flavour.\u003cbr\u003eThe perfume here is really something.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTim Kirk, Clonakilla\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA few reviews on this release -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2024 Shiraz Viognier is so perfumed from the glass, with notes of orange blossom and Boscobel rose, raspberry seed and peppercorns.\u003cbr\u003eThe wine is delicately layered, spicy and medium-bodied, with so many nuanced levels of texture and flavor.\u003cbr\u003eIn youth, these wines express floral detail and an orange-peel lift, while with age, they begin to show meaty nuances and ethereal, dried-rose-petal complexity.\u003cbr\u003eI love this wine in pretty much every vintage condition; it varies each year, but it remains true to its fine, complex DNA. This is super.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 points, drink 2025-2044, Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA note from Tim Kirk says ’24 turned out to be heartbreaking and brilliant.\u003cbr\u003eThe former because frost in October caused significant damage, the latter because 'the fruit that survived delivered powerful aromas and intense flavour.'\u003cbr\u003eThis is splendid, and yes powerful in flavour and structure, yet reined in by poised if plentiful tannins.\u003cbr\u003eAbundantly floral, with pepper, black cherries and plums, soy sauce and spicy oak.\u003cbr\u003eIt’s full bodied, rich and ripe yet comes out complex and contained.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points, drink 2025-2035, Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Five Way Cellars","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":43360113983606,"sku":"22148","price":150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/3331\/7750\/files\/5268_Image1_69d3b959-fccb-47d3-b6d0-b78dd9c2a50e.jpg?v=1777604695","url":"https:\/\/fivewaycellars.com.au\/products\/clonakilla-shiraz-viognier-2024","provider":"Five Way Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
