Sean ORiada is one of the heroes of modern Ireland. A talented musician and composer, he is credited with taking traditional Irish music out of the kitchens and pubs of Ireland and putting it on the concert stages of the world. He died, prematurely, in 1971, the year Clonakilla was established by John Kirk. He was Johns cousin.

2022 was a cool vintage with gentle ripening progressing well into autumn. The ORiada is made from fruit picked from our estate vineyard and other fine sites in Murrumbateman and Hall. Its a quintessential Canberra Shiraz, medium bodied with red berry and floral themes and plenty of cool-climate spice.
