Kilikanoon 'Covenant' Shiraz 2017

Kilikanoon Covenant Shiraz is made from a blend of Shiraz grapes grown across multiple vineyard sites in the Clare Valley. It is an expressive wine with dark black fruit and blueberry dominating the nose. The palate is elegant and medium bodied with subtle oak notes, cocoa powder, pepper and tobacco notes coming through behind the lush dark current fruit. A lovely wine, perfectly balanced and always enjoyable.

Kilikanoon was founded in 1997 when winemaker and proprietor Kevin Mitchell purchased the property of the same name in the hamlet of Penwortham in South Australia's picturesque Clare Valley. Hailing from a long line of grape growers, Kevin now had the opportunity to turn the vision of creating his own wine brand into a reality. Kevin's father Mort Mitchell has been a defining influence, planting and tending to Kilikanoon's Golden Hillside suite of vineyards including the famed Mort's Block, for over 40 years. Kevin's fascination with terroir is a result of years spent playing and eventually working in these vineyards alongside his father.
