Clonakilla Hilltops Shiraz

What a beauty! This is the kind of wine that you could take to a dinner and instantly become a star. I'm not entirely sure but this could have come from the vineyard planted by Dr. John Kirk of the CSIRO in the Hilltops region. 
Amazing wine. Subtle, yet full of flavour. Slightly spicy, holds beautifully and goes great with food. I tried it with roast chicken and it was a great experience. I had a glass of it before food, on its own and it was a treat. All in all, a great wine. Get as many as you can, it'll only go up in price like its sister wines - the shiraz viognier 2008.
