Kilikanoon Blocks Road Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Harvested from premium vineyards across the Clare Valley, bunches are handled to bring out the unique characters of each block. Kilikanoon vineyards span all three valleys that make up the distinctive environment of the Clare Valley region.
Blocks Road Cabernet Sauvignon is named after one of the founding vineyards that produced the four original wines of Kilikanoon in 1997. Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon remains limited in production however is highly sought after for its depth and persistence of flavour and elegance.
Harvested at sunrise, the fruit was crushed to traditional open fermenters. These were then hand plunged each day and then basket pressed to ensure gentle colour, flavour and tannin extraction. Each parcel was kept separate until final blending, having spent 10 months in a selection of new and seasoned French oak hogsheads (300 Litres).
