Description

Clonakilla’s Viognier Nouveau is the light-on-its-feet sibling in a family known for depth and detail. It’s made to be enjoyed young and fresh — a chance to see Viognier in a brighter, more playful mood.

Picked early and fermented cool in stainless, it’s all about aromatics and energy. There's stone fruit, blossom and spice, but it’s not trying to be flashy. Just clean, pretty, and refreshingly uncomplicated. The 2025 vintage is bang on the mark too — crisp, lively, and bottled just months after harvest to keep all that lift intact.

It’s the kind of white you want to have chilled and ready, whether for a sunny afternoon or an easy midweek dinner. No need for decanting, no need to fuss — just twist the cap and pour.

No mucking around with this style; it’s bottled late May so it’s all about fruit freshness, vitality and immediate drinkability. Florals abound, fennel fronds, too. It's a little estery yet full of white peaches and barely ripe apricot and kernels (not much, just a smidge to identify a varietal note). Pulses with acidity and a rather elegant, fine palate. A lovely drink; perfect for the forthcoming warmer weather and the lighter food we enjoy in such seasons.

    Clonakilla Viognier Nouveau

    I was introduced to this fabulous wine at Carlotta Restaurant in Canberra and it was love at first sip. Have since enjoyed a couple of bottles of this lovely wine and definitely will be purchasing more.

Viognier Nouveau brings you Viognier at its freshest.

Fermented in stainless steel and bottled early, this wine captures the vibrancy of the Viognier fruit in all its youthful glory. Heaps of flavour without heaviness.

Drink it now.
