✨ Technical Specifications
The Kilikanoon Medley GSM is a masterful assembly of Grenache, Shiraz, and Mataro, crafted to showcase the synergy of these classic Rhône varieties in the unique terroir of South Australia. Sourced primarily from select vineyards in the Clare Valley, this wine captures the region's signature diurnal temperature shifts—warm, sun-drenched days that fully ripen the grapes, followed by cool nights that preserve vital acidity. Each variety is vinified separately using traditional techniques, including open-top fermentation and gentle basket pressing, before aging in seasoned French oak barrels. The Grenache contributes vibrant red berry perfume and spice, the Shiraz provides rich plum flavors and structural fleshiness, while the Mataro (Mourvèdre) anchors the blend with savory complexity, earthiness, and fine-grained tannins, resulting in a harmonious and layered performance.

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.
