Our Revelation Shiraz the reveal of our most precious and coveted wine from any given vintage and it only happens when the conditions are faultless.

Vintage Conditions

A dry and warm vintage, 2019 has delivered smaller yields of highly flavoured fruit. The lower-than-average rainfall between December and harvest created a few challenges. There were some extreme weather conditions during the growing season, including the lowest temperature recorded in spring and the highest ever temperature in summer, but the grapes showed great resilience. Red grape varieties thrived under these dry and reasonably cool conditions.

Winemaking

The grapes are hand-picked from a selection of Kilikanoon estate vineyards and brought to the winery in the cool of the morning. Crushed, chilled and left on skins while the resultant must is allowed to gradually warm. Fermentation starts naturally with the wild yeast from the vineyard. After a couple days of gentle hand plunging the grape skins rise. The fermenting wine is then circulated over the skins multiple times each day for the soft extraction of flavours and colour. After fermentation, the grapes are pressed in a basket-press to release the wine from the skins. Carefully selected French oak hogsheads hold the wine for maturation. A rigorous tasting process ensures only the finest barrels are selected for the final blend before being bottled and returned to the cellar for further maturation prior to release.
