It has been a remarkable journey for Clonkilla. When John Kirk planted the first vines in 1971 he had no idea that his vineyard would one day be celebrated as one of the best in the country.
Its first 2016 vintage is now ready to be consumed – the Viognier Nouveau offers a bright and fresh version that is easy to consume at any time of the year.
James Halliday describes Clonakilla’s Shiraz Viognier as “an icon wine, one of the best in Australia”.
Jeremy Oliver lists it among his “Perfect 1s”. Langton’s Andrew Caillard described it as “one of the most important advances in the development of Australian Shiraz since the release of 1952 Penfolds Grange Hermitage”. The story of this iconic wine has spanned generations.
Shaw Vineyard Estate is a boutique winery established in 1998 on “Olleyville”, a 700-acre fine wool producing property established in the mid 1800s.

The summer heat meant vintage started a few weeks early this year for Murrumbateman Winery. Its first pick was Mollie’s Block Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes were clean, juicy and full of flavour.

In 2016 Murrumbateman Winery is also making Riesling, Shiraz Rosé, Shiraz, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon.
