The Kirk family’s winery was one of the first to put Murrumbateman Shiraz on the fine wine map. Founded in 1971, Clonakilla pioneered this cool-climate region and today the estate produces some of the finest Shiraz in Australia and the world, inspired by the styles of the Northern Rhône.

John Kirk grew up in Ireland, where his parents owned a hotel in County Clare. His interest in wine was sparked by a summer job looking after the bar and stocking the hotel’s cellar. He started reading about wine, learning and tasting more through his university (biochemistry at Cambridge, eventually earning a doctorate).
