Sean O’Riada 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 John’s cousin.

“It is one of Australian wine’s biggest bargains.” - Nick Ryan

The 2023 vintage was the third cool growing season in a row and our latest harvest in over a decade. The spring in particular was cool and wet and the vines were slow to get going. Thankfully some genuine warmth arrived towards the end of summer flowing into a gentle and generally sunny autumn, delivering some gorgeous flavours in the grapes.

“Consummately classy and great value!” - Tyson Stelzer

The O’Riada is a quintessential Canberra Shiraz, fully charged with spice, floral notes and ripe red fruits.

Reviews

The 2023 O’Riada Shiraz is perfumed and floral right out of the blocks: rose petals, petrichor, a drift of arnica/licorice, white chocolate and sweet tobacco.

“a gorgeous thing and comes highly recommended”

The wine is attractive and perfumed in the mouth as well, and the tannins are finely wrought.

The wine finishes with a slight inflection of dried mint, but this is a gorgeous thing and comes highly recommended.

Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate

From a cool and late season, this is the cool side of Shiraz expressed with character and sensitivity.

“It's unashamedly medium-bodied, consummately classy and great value”

I love its dark berry fruit core, its overlay of intense white pepper, even a nuance of sarsaparilla, and the seamless integration of super-fine, perfectly composed tannins.

It's unashamedly medium-bodied, consummately classy and great value.

Tyson Stelzer, WBM

A vibrant crimson, this is a stunning cool climate Shiraz and wonderful value. Given the limited nature of the Shiraz Viognier, this is more than ideal for filling the gaps.

Spices, florals, a flicker of animal skins, red fruits, cloves, red cherries and mulberries.

“a stunning cool climate Shiraz and wonderful value”

A wine which is carefully crafted, with line and length and immaculate balance and the finest of tannins, it is, however, the gorgeous spice notes which are to the fore. Eight to ten years.

Ken Gargett, Winepilot

While Kirk’s Shiraz Viognier is justly celebrated, this is a light he can keep under a bushel no longer.

“It is one of Australian wine’s biggest bargains.”

A exultation of berries and spice: raspberry, blackberry, sandalwood, mace.

Sculpted detail, intricate and entwined. Tannins deployed in microfine granules.

Nick Ryan, The Weekend Australian Magazine

I cannot fault this wine. It’s so well spiced, without being excessively so.

“a delightful drink, pretty, floral”

It’s rushed with cherry-plum fruit, it’s both refreshing and satiny, it folds, carefully, cedarwood and deli-meat into the fruit, and the tannin is a masterclass of the fine, filigreed kind.

“I’d have no hesitation in buying this wine”

After all that, or over-arching it, is the fact that it’s a delightful drink, pretty, floral, solid where it needs to be, bright and balanced. Personally I’d have no hesitation in buying this wine.

Campbell Mattinson, The Winefront

Savory and perfumed aromas of blood plums, dark cherries, tobacco and rose petals on the nose.

“Gentle and pretty with an underlying power that will age gracefully”

The full-bodied palate has finely integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of licorice, dried herbs, wet stone and bark.

Gentle and pretty with an underlying power that will age gracefully. Drink or hold.

Our Shipping & Delivery Policy

Yiannis Wine ships orders through FedEx. The shipping fees vary depending on where in the U.S your shipment is going. For any questions or concerns regarding shipment pricing and restrictions please feel free to contact us directly. We are able to ship to all but the following states: Utah, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. With some of these states, for example Alabama, we are able to ship to an ABC store nearest to you.

It is rare to have a shipment damaged during shipping, however, in the event you do receive a damaged delivery, please let us know. We will need pictures and proof of damage so that we can resolve your claim. Damaged claims will not be accepted without proof. We will replace the wine or issue a credit. The choice is yours!

Deliveries that contain alcohol REQUIRE AN ADULT SIGNATURE. You must be 21 or older to purchase and accept said deliveries.

We cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally.

Shipping fees are not refundable under any circumstances.

There is an additional charge to re-route orders already in transit.

Some items are removed from original packaging, and placed in protective shipping containers to ensure safe delivery.

While most orders are shipped the day they are placed. The demand for limited supplies will occasionally deplete our stock of a paticular product, in this case it will generally take an additional 1 - 2 business days to receive the product and fufill the order.

Although it is rare, if there was a packing error, we would like to resolve it for you! In the event that we shipped an incorrect item, we may ask you to hold on to those items and the exsisting packaging so that we can arrange for a return pick up. If you find that items are missing from your order, we are happy to assist you in reshipping the missing items or processing a credit for the missing item/items. We will provide a return label for incorrect items and credit will be processd upon the return of the item to the warehouse. Reshipment of the correct items will be at no extra charge.

Occasionally a chosen vintage of a wine may sell out or be replaced by a new release after your order is placed. Bottles of wine that are under $20, will not hold up an order and we will simply automatically substitute the wine with the comparable vintage. Please be assured that we will only substitute with a vintage for the same wine. Wine that is valued more than $20 per bottle, we will attempt to contact the customer. After two attempts, the available vintage will be automatically shipped out. (The return policy of $15 return shipping costs, and 15% restocking fee will be enforced.)

Yiannis Wine will not be held liable for damages to orders due to weather conditions during shipping. Potential exposure to extreme heat or cold may damage items during shipping. As we can not be held responsible for products damaged due to weather, we suggest you choose FedEx Express to ship your items and/or add ice packs to your order (during extreme heat) to help prevent damages. We can also place your orders on weather hold until weather conditions improve. Wine is usually fine if it is exposed to some heat (as that is the way wine is made.....Heated so the yeast is activated). If your wine is warm, please place them in a cool, dark room so the wine can "settle."

Most returns will be accepted, but ALL bottles must be returned to get credit. A half bottle or empty bottle of something that did not taste GOOD is fine to return, but the customer will not receive full credit if the bottle is not included.

Sometimes an order is returned to our warehouse after several delivery attempts at the address provided by the customer. We are happy to reship the order however, reshipment fees will apply. Please contact us and we will assist you with the reshipment arrangements.

We are happy to assist with any returns for items purchased that you no longer want or need. Please let us know and we will arrange for the return and issue a credit or refund for your returned items, less the return shipping and handling charges.

Everyone has different tastes and Yiannis Wine will not be held responsible for customer choice. While ratings, testimonials, and reviews may influence your decision, the ultimate judgement is yours.
