Two vinous icons from two different hemispheres are united in a tasting that promises to be as enlightening as it is delicious. Canberra's superstar winemaker Tim Kirk was transfixed by the wines of France's Cote Rotie when he visited there decades ago, so much so he decided to become a winemaker.

A quarter of a century later and Clonakilla shiraz viognier is acclaimed worldwide and recognised as exceptional - the highest possible classification - by Langton's. This masterclass is a celebration and reunion of both the wines that sparked Kirk's ambition and those he made in reply.

Join him, along with special guests, to chart the evolution of the Clonakilla shiraz viognier to the point where the most recent 2018 vintage has attracted the estate's best reviews yet, described as "perfection" by Tasting Australia beverage director Nick Stock.

12 wines on tasting.
