This was so tight even after decanting. Got much better on day two. Can keep this cellared much longer. — 2 months ago

Canberra District Shiraz Viognier 2015

See previous notes for this Cuvée - a Shiraz Viognier from the ACT made by Bryan Martin who is the winemaker at the nearby and famous Clonakilla, for Tim Kirk. Pepper and Spice with Charcuterie - in fact like a junior version of Clonakilla. Interestingly the large label has pencil images of charcuterie in a butcher’s shop. Also excellent QPR. My last bottle. — 7 months ago

Gotta get you some Hunnicutt then. Kirk V is the winemaker and they do such a good job sourcing from great vineyards. You’ll love it!

@Paul K, I’ve tasted it many years ago. I’ll retry it…

Clonakilla

Canberra District Riesling 2013

Brief notes. Had my last bottle on 17th August and it was sublime. More fulsome with less citric acid than the early years. Notes of mandarin and a little white peach on the palate. Not a hint of petrol/kerosene. Worth the patience to cellar it for 11 years. Tim Kirk, the winemaker reckons you could cellar it for 15 years. — 3 months ago
