Wow. Pretty much what making wine in this country is all about. An iron fist in a velvet glove. There's a reason the name carries so much weight.

Why do we love this wine?
The 2017 vintage brought near on perfect growing conditions to Hilltops: sun when you want it, rain when you need it. The terroir naturally provides complexity and elegance, but the power and longevity of this wine can only be attained with restrained and considered winemaking - something Clonakilla have in spades. Bright red and blue fruit, peppery spice and velvety tannins all wrapped around a backbone of lively acid and sweet oak leave the drinker wanting for nothing, except, perhaps another glass. Share it with those you love, or drink it in front of those you don't - this is one to show off.
