They staff were super welcoming, passionate and knowledgeable about their wines. We enjoyed them presenting us their range and the tasting is also free. Known for its cool climate and aromatic wines and complex flavours. We started with the Riesling, which had citrus flavours and was light and floral. The sauvignon blanc was also quite enjoyable, also citric with hints of passionfruit. The pinot gris, this one with a rose appearance was an approachable wine, super easy drinking tasting of nectarines. The reds are earthy and peppery. The Pinot noir had strawberry flavours and was quite earthy. Their Syrah a dry, savoury red. The Malbec was light and fruity with a pleasant sour grape finish. The 2015 Syrah was most enjoyable, very savoury, smoky bacon and strawberry flavour, very unique. I bought a bottle of this to go.

The tasting is free and staff here are well prepared, they provide you with an enjoyable experience and you are sure to purchase some of their great wine. All of the wine we tried at Clonakilla was stunning. Known for their reds, we also thought the whites were quite exceptional. Their Reisling is quite sweet with oily mouth feel. The Chardonnay was one of our favourites, on the nose it is buttered toast and the flavour very nutty and toasty. Their Voigneir was quite floral and sweet. Their Hilltop shiraz was another favourite, floral with winter berries and certainly is great value. Their world renowned Shiraz Voigner is a delicious wine, complex sweet and savoury with a nice earthiness. The winery itself is also stunning. The space is large and has a lovely outlook on the vine clad hills. As you sit inside, you're surrounded by local stone, reclaimed timbers, wine barrels and a large central fireplace. It's homely, comfortable and a top place to add to your list.

The Pinot had a nice strawberry cherry fruit with cloves on the back end. Their Sauvignon blanc semillon was seamless with its 50/50 blend. But the 2018 Shiraz Viognier was a knockout - still tannic, but give ut 8 years. Also enjoyed the 2017 Syrah which is kept in the barrel 2 years. Can't wait to taste the 2018 vintage
