✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The 'Prodigal' Grenache is a tribute to a grape variety that was once undervalued and widely pulled out of South Australia's vineyards, only to make a triumphant, 'prodigal' return to critical acclaim. Sourced from old, low-yielding bush vines in the Clare Valley, this wine highlights the cooler-climate nuances of the region. Unlike the hotter parts of South Australia, Clare Valley's elevated vineyards experience cool night breezes that preserve natural acidity and elegance in the Grenache grapes. Kilikanoon crafts this wine using traditional open fermenters and ages it in seasoned French oak hogsheads to ensure the bright, spicy red fruit characteristics remain front and center, complemented by earthy undertones and fine, structural tannins.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Kilikanoon blev grundlagt i 1997 af vinmageren Kevin Mitchell og ligger i den naturskønne Clare Valley i South Australia. Vingården henter sine druer fra historiske, lavtydende gamle vinstokke fordelt over en række forskellige mikroklimaer og jordbundstyper, og huset er dedikeret til at skabe vine med enestående kraft, præcision og regional autenticitet. Kilikanoon har opnået stor international anerkendelse for sine dybt koncentrerede, strukturerede rødvine – heriblandt især flagskibene Oracle Shiraz og Prodigal Grenache – side om side med krystalklare, gemmeværdige Clare Valley Riesling-vine.
