Place

Sourced from high elevation Estate vineyards at Mt. Surmon and Trillian's Hill - the blend also comprised of the finest parcels from the famed Mort’s Vineyard in the heart of the Kilikanoon Estate.

Vintage Conditions

Early spring rains and a cool end to summer allowed the grapes to hang on the vine longer, resulting in powerful and elegant Shiraz fruit. The region’s famed elevation and distinctive terroir, created the perfect conditions in which to ripen each parcel to its optimum flavour, profile and acid/tannin balance.

Winemaking

Low yielding parcels of Shiraz were selected from each vineyard based on concentration of flavours. Each parcel was then vinified separately using traditional winemaking techniques, before being aged for fourteen months in a careful selection of new and seasoned French oak hogsheads.

Critic's Review

96 points! Beautifully maturing with gorgeous complexity, the wine shows dark fruit richness, cured meat, toasted spice and hazelnut characters on the nose. It's wonderfully weighted and flavoursome in the mouth with plush texture and finely woven tannins, making it structured with graceful opulence. At its best: now to 2034. - Sam Kim.
