2018 Clonakilla, Shiraz Viognier, Canberra District, Australia

There are over 200 different grape varieties used in modern wine making (from a total of over 1000). Most lesser known blends and varieties are traditional to specific parts of the world.

Despite being relatively young compared to other Australian wine regions, the Canberra District has quickly gained recognition for producing elegant, complex red and white wines. The vines in this region thrive on its cool climate, characterised by warm summer days and cool nights, ideal for cultivating grape varieties such as Riesling, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir.
