✨ Technical Specifications
The Tregea Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a benchmark expression of Clare Valley's distinctive terroir, sourced from the historic Tregea Vineyard in the high-altitude sub-region of Penwortham. This unique site features classic terra rossa soils—rich red loam over limestone—which, combined with the region's warm days and cool nights, imparts both intense fruit concentration and structural elegance. Kilikanoon crafts this reserve wine using traditional methods, including fermentation in small open-top fermenters and gentle basket pressing, before maturing the wine in fine French oak hogsheads. The result is a classic Clare Cabernet, boasting dark cassis, mint, and subtle eucalyptus notes, supported by a firm, age-worthy tannin profile.
🍾 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.
