✨ Technical Specifications
Kilikanoon's Exodus Shiraz is a compelling expression of the Clare Valley's unique terroir, capturing the power and elegance that define this historic South Australian wine region. Sourced from carefully selected, low-yielding vineyard sites, this wine represents a journey of meticulous viticulture and winemaking. The Clare Valley's warm days and cool nights, influenced by refreshing breezes, allow the Shiraz grapes to develop intense flavor concentration while retaining natural acidity. Traditionally vinified and matured in seasoned and new French oak hogsheads, the Exodus Shiraz is crafted to showcase the dark fruit profile, savory complexity, and structured, velvety tannins characteristic of the estate's premium red wines.
