Place

Individual parcels of fruit from our Barossa and Clare Valley vineyards were fermented separately and matured in seasoned French oak puncheons. Only four barrels
were then carefully selected, two from each region, and combined to create a 50/50 blend.

Vintage Conditions

The Omen Shiraz is a 50/50 blend of the very best Clare and Barossa Valley Shiraz from the famed 2015 vintage.

It is fortuitous that both regions had outstanding conditions leading into the 2015 vintage. The combination of these into one wine allows each regions terroir to add dimension to the final blend. Clare provides the structure, elegance and red fruit characters, while Barossa adds layers of dark black fruits and spice.

Winemaking

With our loyal customers in mind, special parcels of our best Shiraz from Clare Valley and Barossa were set aside to make a limited bottling release. Exclusively traditional techniques were used with the wine maturing in 100% new French oak hogsheads for nearly two years months before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Since then, the wine has been held in the Kilikanoon cellars to further improve and mature in the bottle before release.
