✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the acclaimed Kilikanoon estate, the Crowhurst Reserve Shiraz represents a powerful expression of South Australian winemaking tradition. Sourced from select vineyards that benefit from the region's intense sunlight and cooling nocturnal breezes, this wine showcases the classic opulence and structural integrity that have made Australian Shiraz world-famous. The winemaking philosophy emphasizes small-batch fermentation and careful oak maturation to harmonize the intense dark fruit flavors with savory complexity. The name 'Crowhurst' pays homage to traditional heritage, reflecting a wine of depth, character, and classical styling that captures the essence of South Australia's ancient soils and pioneering viticultural spirit.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1997 by winemaker Kevin Mitchell, Kilikanoon is situated in the picturesque Clare Valley of South Australia. Sourcing fruit from historic, low-yielding old vines across diverse microclimates and soil profiles, the estate is dedicated to crafting wines of remarkable power, precision, and regional authenticity. The winery has earned widespread international acclaim for its deeply concentrated, structured red wines—most notably the flagship Oracle Shiraz and Prodigal Grenache—alongside crystalline, age-worthy Clare Valley Rieslings.
