Established in 1997, Kilikanoon has established a reputation for producing world class, iconic Shiraz from vineyards located in the Barossa & Clare Valley. Winemaker Kevin Mitchell also produces more budget priced offerings, producing wines that offer ‘Killer Value’ under the Killerman’s Run label, with fruit now being sourced from entirely low yielding Clare Valley vineyards.
Matured in a selection of seasoned French oak hogsheads for 15 months. Dense inky black colour with a deep dark red black hue. Sailing out of the glass are ripe blackberry and liquorice top notes followed by some dark chocolate, vanillin oak and spicy earth. Rich, deeply fruited and plush in its feel the palate is laden with ripe blackberry and liquorice flavours which are underscored by vanillin cedar, traces of dark chocolate and peppered earth characters. Finishes a touch inky with polished yet sturdy tannins. The aftertaste long and opulently fruited.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14.5%
