Kilikanoon's Bin 88 Shiraz is a tribute to the historic Australian tradition of 'Bin' wines, where winemakers designated specific cellar locations for batches of outstanding character and style. Sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia, this expression highlights the generous, fruit-forward profile that has made Australian Shiraz globally famous, balanced by the meticulous attention to detail and structural elegance characteristic of Kilikanoon's winemaking philosophy. The wine is aged in a selection of seasoned French and American oak barrels, which imparts subtle notes of spice, vanilla, and chocolate to complement the rich, dark berry core.
