Wine Description:
Kilikanoon Covenant Shiraz is harvested from premium vineyards throughout the Clare Valley, bunches are handled to develop the unique personality of each vineyard. The Kilikanoon vineyards range across all three valleys that create the unique environment and region known as the Clare Valley. With the vineyards spanning the length of the Valley, parcels were able to be harvested at opportune time as the berries developed their rich flavour profile. Crushed into stainless steel tanks, the grapes were allowed to naturally begin fermentation. Once completed, the skins were pressed, and the wine placed into new and seasoned French oak hogsheads for 14 months. Once each batch softened, a blend that shows the refinement and richness of cooler climate shiraz was compiled but selecting barrels out of each batch.

Wine Expert Note:

The Kilikanoon Covenant Shiraz is a remarkable full-bodied wine with a velvety texture and well-integrated tannins that provide structure and balance. The flavors are complex and layered boasting spice, plum and blackberry bramble aromas overlay soft sandalwood and dried herbs. Soft and plush raspberry flavours coat the palate before subtle flavours of red berry cassis and fresh berry coulis flow through the finish. The wine has hints of fine French oak that seamlessly appears and drives the persistency on the finish. Overall, the Kilikanoon Covenant Shiraz is a superb example of a high-quality Shiraz. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age gracefully for several years. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or a newcomer to the world of Shiraz, this wine is sure to impress with its elegance, complexity, and overall finesse.
