Place

With many of the Kilikanoon’s vineyards situated in the famed sub-appellation of Watervale, Clare Valley, this GSM holds the hallmarks of the unique and idyllic region - bright and full bodied while retaining the elegant finish the blend is famed for.

Vintage Conditions

Following mild winter temperatures, the vines emerged from their dormancy earlier than usual. This coupled with enduring mild weather during the growing season resulted in slower ripening and elongated time on the vine. These ideal conditions allowed the fruit to ripen evenly and slowly giving natural acid retention while developing varietal character and flavour ripeness at lower sugar levels. It also allowed individual parcels to be selected at the most opportune time as the seasonal rush to harvest was alleviated.

Winemaking

Each variety was harvested separately and fermented in open fermenters for 8 to 10 days. Once complete, the grapes were basket pressed into French oak hogsheads for 9 to 12 months maturation. Barrels were selected for the blend to craft the style that balanced between the traditional style and the modern concentration of Kilikanoon.
