Clonakilla Hilltops Shiraz 2009
	An exceptional Shiraz wine from a boutique estate which has been recognized as one of Australia's leading small wineries and most important small vineyards. Clonakilla is dedicated to making distinctive, handcrafted wines. Always made in limited quantities, Clonakilla can be hard to find, but they are worth the search. The house speciality is Shiraz and Clonakilla unashamedly borrow techniques from the Rhone Valley and Burgundy. The inaugural vintage claimed two gold medals, one silver and two trophies in only three showings Hilltops 95 Points James Halliday Wine Companion 2011
	Each $24.99 Dozen $299.88	Clonakilla was established by a Canberra based research scientist in 1971 near the village of Murrumbateman in New South Wales. The soils here consist of sandy clay loams over a friable clay subsoil and, with a climate not dissimilar to Bordeaux and the Northern Rhone, he held high hopes for its wine producing potential. The wine itself is ultimately determined in the vineyard where hard work is required to open up the vine leaf canopies, limiting yields and encouraging the vines to make grapes with riper flavour profiles. The vinification process embraces old world techiques such as the inclusion of whole bunches in the ferments, pre-ferment maceration and French oak barrel maturation
	A wine of intense colour, striking aroma and generous, full flavoured palate. Loaded with ripe blackberry fruit pushed along by a late surge of blackcurrant and spice, the warmth of the autumn radiates through every part of this wine. Clonakilla is a breathtaking Shiraz wine, with gold medals, trophies and numerous five star reviews in succession. Great now if you love a powerful red, but leave some in the cellar for five to ten years to taste its full potential. "Another great Hilltops Shiraz, this shows plenty of depth in the glass – nice richness and quietly brooding. Dark toasted spices, anise, ripe plums and berries all swirled around amid decent chewy tannins. Drink now or over the next six years for the best results!" -Wine 1OO
