T&L Vineyard Block Two Shiraz Viognier

Clonakilla T&L Vineyard Block Two Shiraz Viognier draws from vines planted by Tim and Lara Kirk in 2001 using cuttings from Best's Old Block Shiraz, originally planted in 1860.

The wine is a tiny individual bottling of one of the many parcels that make up the winery's iconic Shiraz Viognier.

Most of the fruit is destemmed, with a portion kept as whole bunches. The Shiraz co-ferments with a small amount of Viognier using wild yeasts. It is then transferred to new and seasoned French oak puncheons to age.

Dark red purple, Clonakilla T&L Vineyard Block 2 Shiraz Viognier is full bodied with dense fruit flavours, spicy complexity and finely structured tannins.

An outstanding cool climate Shiraz. Cellaring potential is 12 years.
