Clonakilla O’Riada Shiraz 2024

Our Verdict

“It is one of Australian wine’s biggest bargains.” Nick Ryan

2024 was a beautiful vintage. Good spring rain, warm summer days, cool nights and a glorious early autumn. The O’Riada is a quintessential Canberra Shiraz, fully charged with spice, floral notes and ripe red fruits. Tim Kirk, Winemaker

"Given the fruit is off the estate and from three other properties, this is an excellent drink, in a finer style. A gorgeous purple-red hue and so fragrant with florals and red fruits (from raspberries to currants) all doused with baking spices and a sprinkle of black pepper. The palate is barely mid-weighted yet finely tuned with silty tannins and acidity that gives life. Up there as one of the best O’Riadas to date." 95 Points - Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion

"This is top notch. It has flavour and length, but it’s the spread of that flavour and the tannin that comes with it that makes you sit up and take notice. This wine is where the smart money’s going. Cherry-plum, five spice, anise, mint, dark soy and florals, with a talc-like feel to the tannin and a general feeling of etching. Super release of O’Riada." 95 Points - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front

 "This has to be a contender for best value wine of the year and is also compelling evidence of just how good the 2024 vintage was for the Canberra region.  This is always an exciting wine but this release surely has to sit amongst the very best." 94 Points -  Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot
