Description

Harvested from premium vineyards throughout the Clare Valley, bunches are handled to develop the unique personality of each vineyard. The Kilikanoon vineyards range across all three valleys that create the individual environment and region known as the Clare Valley.

With the vineyards spanning the length of the Valley, parcels were able to be harvested at opportune time as the berries developed their rich flavour profile. Crushed into stainless steel tanks, the grapes were allowed to naturally begin fermentation. Once completed, the skins were pressed, and the wine placed into new and seasoned French oak hogsheads for 14 months. Once each batch softened, a blend that shows the refinement and richness of cooler climate shiraz was compiled by selecting barrels out of each batch.

Review
The colour for this first-rate wine shows a brilliant, bright red and slight crimson hues. The nose captures the varietal spices and the dark, plummy blackberry notes that you expect, with a little meaty game. The palate opens to reveal ripe red fruit characters, with just a hint of spice and a touch of ironstone. Tannins are slightly chalky, and the oak is neatly engaged, as a result of 13 months in new and seasoned French oak hogsheads. It’s soft and generous, with good cellaring potential for the next 10 years. Drink 2025-2035.

Tasting Profile
nose

Bright red berries and subtle spiced plum aromas overlay soft fresh herbs with a touch of graphite.

palate

Ripe dark berry flavours of blackcurrant and fresh raspberries are underpinned by subtle notes of mocha and dried green herbs while hints of fine French oak seamlessly appear and drive the persistency on the finish. This wine is in its prime now and will further enrich with time in the cellar.
