John Kirk bought 44 acres near Murrumbateman in 1971, named it Clonakilla after his grandfather's farm in County Clare, and made the Canberra District's first commercial wine, a family business ever since. The O'Riada is quintessential Canberra Shiraz: spice, florals, and ripe red fruit, all running at full charge. Half a century in, the family's still proving cool-climate Shiraz can be perfumed and serious at once.

Tasting Notes

The O’Riada is a quintessential Canberra Shiraz, fully charged with spice, floral notes and ripe red fruits. Clonakilla O’Riada Shiraz pairs effortlessly with grilled New York strip steak, beef wellington, or a savory pork roast.

The 2023 O’Riada Shiraz is perfumed and floral right out of the blocks: rose petals, petrichor, a drift of arnica/licorice, white chocolate and sweet tobacco. The wine is attractive and perfumed in the mouth as well, and the tannins are finely wrought. The wine finishes with a slight inflection of dried mint, but this is a gorgeous thing and comes highly recommended.
