Pale lemon in color. Aromas of peach, apricot, honeysuckle, lemon, and minerals. The palate is creamy yet refreshing, with notes of butter, vanilla, and ginger. Full bodied with a long finish. Gets better as it opens up.

Violet, earth, pepper, chocolate, nutmeg,... Quite an amazing mix of spices and scents. Full-bodied with a concentration of red and black fruits flavours i.e. those mentioned above. And omg cherry. Lingers joyfully with all the residual sugars popping up. — 5 years ago

Pear and apple notes on nose and palate - a touch of ginger. M+ intensity on the medium bodied palate - low acid. Coincidentally, last night I was at the Yalumba dinner at the Downs Club and sitting near Louisa Rose, ex winemaker and now Ambassador for Yalumba. Nobody in Australia would know more about the Viognier grape than Louisa. Yalumba pioneered its use and “The Virgilius” would be the leading example in Australia but this Clonakilla is also outstanding. — 8 months ago

No formal notes. An ok Viognier from a reputable producer in an excellent district as in Beechworth in northern Victoria. Acceptable but doesn’t have the fruit intensity or palate weight of the better examples like Yalumba Virgilius. — 3 years ago
