✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Killerman's Run' range is named in honor of Alan Harrison, a legendary local bushman who lived off the grid in a hand-built bark hut in the hills behind the Kilikanoon property during the mid-20th century. Affectionately known to locals as 'Killerman', he was a self-sufficient character who forged his own path, much like the spirit of this wine. Crafted from select vineyards in the Clare Valley of South Australia, this Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the region's signature cool-climate elegance combined with rich fruit concentration. The wine is traditionally vinified and matured in a combination of French oak hogsheads, resulting in a structured, complex red that beautifully mirrors the rugged yet soulful landscape of its origin.

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.
