✨ Technical Specifications
The Kilikanoon Super Six Assortment Case represents a premier curation of the estate's most prestigious red wine releases, offering a masterclass in the diverse microclimates of South Australia's Clare Valley. Founded in 1997 by Kevin Mitchell on historic property in Penwortham, Kilikanoon has garnered international acclaim for its uncompromising, terroir-driven reds. This collection typically showcases the pinnacle of their portfolio, including the legendary Oracle Shiraz, Covenant Shiraz, and exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from ancient, low-yielding, and often ungrafted vines planted in the region's classic terra rossa soils over limestone, these wines undergo traditional open fermentation and basket pressing before aging in fine French oak. The result is a spectacular array of reds defined by their remarkable concentration, elegant structure, and the signature Clare Valley mint and savory spice undertones.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1997 by winemaker Kevin Mitchell alongside his viticulturist father Mort Mitchell, Kilikanoon has evolved into one of the Clare Valley’s definitive benchmark estates. Headquartered at an 1860s stone farmhouse in Penwortham, the estate commands access to premier vineyard parcels spanning diverse subregions, including Watervale, Leasingham, and Auburn. Altitudes range from 220 to over 600 meters above sea level, engendering dramatic diurnal shifts that preserve vital acidity and balance the Mediterranean sun. Kilikanoon champions sustainable farming across varied terroirs characterized by red terra rossa over limestone and slate-rich soils, most famously showcased in the ungrafted, dry-grown 1865 Attunga parcel. In the cellar, the winemaking philosophy pairs traditional fermentation techniques with precise maturation in French oak and unadorned vinification for aromatic whites. Revered for power paired with structural elegance, the estate's benchmark bottlings include the storied Attunga 1865 Shiraz, Oracle Shiraz, and the piercing, mineral-driven Mort's Reserve Watervale Riesling.
