Riesling

Clonakilla Riesling is grown in the estate vineyard at Murrumbateman. The cool climate and decomposed granite soils are perfectly suited to the variety.

The fruit is handpicked from predominantly young vines on a south facing slope not far from the cellar door. The grapes ferment in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. There is no oak.

The wine is made with minimal intervention at the winery. Tim Kirk's guiding principle is to express the personality already present in the fruit.

Light yellow, Clonakilla Riesling has intense fruit flavours, yet it is delicate and finely wound. It lasts and lasts. Cellaring potential is 15 years.
