✨ Technical Specifications
The Parable Shiraz is a masterful expression of Clare Valley's unique terroir, where the region's warm days and cool, crisp nights yield fruit of exceptional balance and intensity. Sourced primarily from low-yielding vineyards in the Watervale sub-region, this wine pays homage to the traditional art of storytelling and the lessons of the land. The grapes are carefully fermented in traditional open-toppers before undergoing maturation in a selection of fine French oak hogsheads. This process coaxes out the deep, dark fruit profiles and structured tannins that define Kilikanoon's signature style, resulting in a Shiraz that is both powerful and remarkably poised, carrying a legacy of craftsmanship in every bottle.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1997 by winemaker Kevin Mitchell, Kilikanoon is situated in the picturesque Clare Valley of South Australia. 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.
