✨ wine.spec_sheet
The Morrison Shiraz Cabernet is a classic Australian blend that pays homage to the historic synergy between Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from premium vineyards in South Australia, particularly within the Clare Valley, this wine showcases the rich, dark plum and spice of Shiraz seamlessly integrated with the structured, leafy cassis and fine-grained tannins of Cabernet Sauvignon. Kilikanoon's winemaking philosophy shines through in this blend, utilizing traditional fermentation techniques and careful oak maturation to craft a robust yet balanced red. The Morrison name celebrates the pioneering spirit of the region's early families and grape growers who helped establish the Clare Valley as a world-class wine-growing district.
