Clonakilla was founded in 1971 by biochemist John Kirk. At that time, it included some of the first vines planted in the previously unheralded Canberra District. After a trip to Domaine Guigal, son Tim Kirk made the inspired move to add Viognier to his cool climate Shiraz. While not the first winemaker in Australia to craft a Shiraz/Viognier blend, the Canberra region proved well suited, and the Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier rose to become a cult wine.
