“The 2025 season was magnificent. Good rain in late spring/early summer rain and consistent, steady warmth right through to mid-autumn. The fruit came in pristine, intensely flavoured and perfectly balanced. Subtle florals, ripe apple and bright citrus notes.” - Winemaker Notes
"Clonakilla is, of course, best known for its brilliant reds, especially the Shiraz Viognier. Do not ignore their Riesling. It is something special. A very pale lemon hue, there are intense aromatics with citrus, florals, limes, bath salts and talc all evident, with slight chalky notes in the background. Bright, zesty acidity runs the length and the wine is immaculately balanced. Utterly pristine, there is excellent focus and a very long and persistent finish here. This sits with the very best Clonakilla Rieslings I have seen. Drink over the next 15 years." - 95 Points, Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot
"Pale straw, bright in the glass and vibrant. Really pretty and lifted aromas of white flowers, lime leaf, lemon pith, bath salts, wet stone and lemon sherbet. Pithy, crunchy and deliciously mouth-watering. There’s lovely purity and drive, with lashings of perky citrus, tangy acidity and some shapely, chalky, textured grip on the finish. Classy wine!" - 95 Points, Aaron Brasher, The Real Review
