Have a love for wines?? here's a lil' thread for introducting to
others ur favourite wine, grape variety or a specific wine
maker...!!
ok, mi start off first ya....
My Favourite is Clonakilla 2001 !! Clonakilla is the leading estate
in Canberra; the wines are outstanding !! Clonakilla literally
means 'meadow of the church' and is the name of the family's farm
in County Clare...
The cooler climate in Clonakilla gives gentle spices and red berry
flavours to their Canberra District Shiraz, which is softened by
the addition of 6% Viognier to the blend.... This is a serious wine
and one that has now attained cult status in Australia.... I love
the Clonakilla especially in the year 2001, coz 2001 is a great
harvest year!! the wine is rich and aromatic, the perfumes of the
Viognier meshing perfectly with the smokiness of the oak... The
wine maker is Tim Kirk, Canberra based research scientist.
but u cant get Clonakilla 2001 around in singapore anymore... I
tried the year 2002 one, is stil as gud, but 2001 is definitely
better !! anyway, clonakilla 2004 is out now... I'm going to try it
next week !! hee hee.... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !! u guys must go haf a
try at it...
