Demand for the wines outstrips supply, even with the '98 acquisition of an adjoining 20ha property by Tim and wife Lara Kirk, planted to shiraz and viognier. In '07 the Kirk family purchased another adjoining property, planting another 1.8ha of shiraz, plus 0.4ha of grenache, mourvèdre and cinsaut. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e-JAMES HALLIDAY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"2015-clonakilla-shiraz-viognier-750ml","title":"2015 Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 750ml","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cmslanding__text-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-skeleton__details-description-reg product-skeleton__details-description--desktop\" _ngcontent-bfm-c36=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eIt has been a remarkable journey for Clonakilla.
