Clonakilla Canberra District

Tim Kirk at Clonakilla pioneered Australian co-fermented Shiraz-Viognier using Côte-Rôtie techniques; the Clonakilla Shiraz-Viognier is Australia's most Rhône-authentic wine and one of the country's most allocated bottles.

Clonakilla's Tim Kirk transformed the perception of Australian Shiraz by applying Côte-Rôtie's co-fermentation technique to Canberra's cool granite soils; the resulting wine achieves a fragrance and elegance unlike any other Australian Shiraz.
