Style: Bold & Powerful

The powerful elegance of Kilikanoon Wines is the ultimate expression of Clare Valley terroir. A symphony of diverse and unique microclimates masterfully composed, to deliver impeccable quality and style for each marque. Meticulous site selection and diverse terroir enable us to deliver impeccable quality year on year through masterful composition. Kilikanoon owes its philosophy to founder Kevin Mitchell and his father Mort and their fascination with terroir. This philosophy has become enshrined in the way our winemaking team crafts vibrant wines with distinct regional and varietal definition. The diurnal temperature variation, hot days and cool nights, in Clare Valley is key to creating powerful and elegant wines, beautifully balanced with ripe fruit, natural acidity, tannin and oak. KILIKANOON

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 but selecting barrels out of each batch. Bright aromas of mulberry with subtle notes of spiced coffee are carried onto the palate which is dominated by spiced black plum and dried tea leaf. The wine has hints of fine French oak that seamlessly appears and drives the persistency on the finish. This wine is in its prime now and will enrich with time over the decade. WINEMAKER NOTES
