2026 Clonakilla Viognier Nouveau

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 2026 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.
