2009 Kilikanoon Killerman's Run Shiraz Grenache

Established in 1997 Kilikanoon has quickly established a reputation for producing world class iconic Shiraz from vineyards located in the Barossa & Clare Valley’s. Winemaker Kevin Mitchell has also turned his hand to more budget priced offerings, producing wines that offer ‘Killer Value’ under the Killerman’s Run label, with fruit being sourced from a range of low yielding vineyards located throughout South Australia. US wine guru Robert Parker describes Kilikanoon as “one of the most brilliantly run wineries in Australia….. thanks to the enviable talents of winemaker Kevin Mitchell.”
