Sourced from the historic Green's Vineyard in the Clare Valley, this single-vineyard Shiraz is a testament to the region's unique microclimate and ancient soils. Planted on its own roots, the vineyard yields low quantities of highly concentrated fruit. The terroir is defined by warm, sunny days tempered by cool evening breezes flowing through the valley, allowing the grapes to develop rich, complex flavors while maintaining vital natural acidity. Kilikanoon employs traditional winemaking techniques, including open-top fermentation and basket pressing, followed by maturation in select French oak hogsheads. The resulting wine is renowned for its muscular structure, deep dark-fruit profile, and seamless integration of savory oak, embodying the robust yet elegant signature of Clare Valley Shiraz.
