Tasting Notes:

Kilikanoon Walton Clare Valley Grenache 2020

The wine is a pure expression of Grenache. Aromas of strawberry, dark cherries (almost Cherry Ripe), cedar-spice with hints of sandalwood. The palate is silky smooth and vibrant, redolent with red cherries, red plums, blood orange and chocolate. The finish is long, expressive and youthful. Walton 1946 Grenache is drinking superbly now, however will reward careful cellaring for a further 15 years.

Kilikanoon Tregea Reserve Clare Valley Cabernet 2018

Minty, blackcurrant fruit on the nose with a ripe plummy influence. The palate is super concentrated with black, liqueurish fruit cascading effortlessly and deep to deliver sustained length. Chewy and lavish with silky tannins.

Kilikanoon Morts Cut Clare Valley Riesling 2020

Mid golden straw in colour with subtle green tints. Brilliant appearance and clarity. Aromas of candied fig, fresh lime juice, glace fruits and evolving toastiness round out the distinguished nose. A richly layered and luscious dessert styled wine, yet beautifully balanced by naturally occurring acidity, the flavours of ripe fig, squeezed limes and honey flow through onto the palate further enhanced by the developing toastiness.

Kilikanoon Oath Clare Valley Grenache 2018

Grenache from old and low-yielding dry grown vines within the Watervale sub-region of the Clare Valley were vinified separately, and remained so until the final wine was assembled. Fifteen months of maturation in a selection of seasoned French oak puncheons provides a softness and elegance to the plush velvety palate.

Kilikanoon Oath Clare Valley Riesling 2022

The grapes were placed directly into the press where they were drained and gently pressed to tank for cold settling. The racked juice was fermented cool for three weeks to retain freshness and delicate aromatics. The finished wine was then stabilised and filtered to ensure clarity and longevity.

Kilikanoon Oath Clare Valley Shiraz 2021

Perfectly balanced with vibrant upfront red fruits and complex savoury nuances. The fruit is supported by fine ripe tannin which give definition and structure to a long and persistent finish. Complex aromas of dark cherry, red plum, licorice and dried herbs.

Kilikanoon Omen Shiraz 2017

Deep inky purple in colour. Aromas showing subtle notes of vanilla, blackberries, pepper and eucalyptus against an alluring background of licorice and soft oak. Gorgeous and aromatic. Generously proportioned with a rich and smooth texture that fills the palate. Flavours of plum and blackberry give way to a softly spicy and heady mix of dark chocolate, pepper, mint and licorice. A long lasting and velvety finish, elongated by the fine, powdery, slightly grippy tannins. Vibrant acidity ensures a fresh balance.

Kilikanoon Walton Clare Valley Grenache 2020

Planted in 1946, the Walton old block Grenache is a monument to the history of the Clare Valley. These dry-grown bush vines are planted in terra rossa soils allowing excellent drainage at an elevation between 370 and 390 metres. The westerly aspect and east/west facing rows ensures the vines are able to soak up the late summer sun while avoiding the harsh conditions of the Clare mid summer.

Hand-picked, the grapes are carefully transported to the winery in half tonne bins where they are hand sorted and destemmed prior to fermentation in open vats. Traditional techniques with minimal intervention are used to ensure that the vineyard fully expresses itself such as hand plunging and basket pressing into large 500 litre oak “Puncheons” . This focused and tender care ensures that one of the great legacies of the region remains alive today for your continued enjoyment.

Kilikanoon Tregea Reserve Clare Valley Cabernet 2018

Small parcels were placed into open fermenters, then basket pressed into a careful selection of new and seasoned French Oak barrels for eighteen months, before being bottled un-fined and unfiltered. Purposeful yet considered use of traditional winemaking techniques alongside modern practices contribute to the 'old world' feel of the wine.

Kilikanoon Morts Cut Clare Valley Riesling 2020

In very special years, we carefully cut through selected fruiting canes in a section of our Mort's Block vineyard around four weeks prior to harvest. This turns off the supply of moisture to the fruit, rapidly concentrating its flavours and natural sugar content and creating a luscious, yet refreshingly crisp, dessert styled wine.

This cane cut technique is only practised in very special years when the ripening season is cooler and more protracted. This gives us more control over the process and ensures that the highest levels of quality can be achieved. Once the desired concentration and flavour enhancement has been reached, the grapes are selected and hand picked with any lower quality fruit rejected on the vine.

The soils of the Watervale valley are typically terra rossa: fertile red brown earth over much deeper limestone. These duplex profiles are perfect for growing Riesling, the loamy topsoils providing adequate nutrition whilst the deeper limestone layers providing good drainage, just enough water holding capacity and flavour characteristics. About four weeks before Riesling is typically harvested, we carefully cut through all of the fruiting canes that are trained along the wires, thus turning off the moisture supply to the fruit, rapidly concentrating the fruits sugar concentration and flavour.

Kilikanoon Oath Clare Valley Grenache 2018

Crafted from two Watervale vineyards which are dry farmed, hand pruned and hand harvested with an average vine age of 70 years. Together, they set a very high standard for this classic Clare Valley Grenache.

Kilikanoon Oath Clare Valley Riesling 2022

With many of the Kilikanoon’s vineyards situated in the famed sub-appellation of Watervale, Clare Valley, this Riesling holds the hallmarks of the unique and idyllic region.

Kilikanoon Oath Clare Valley Shiraz 2021

The Oath Shiraz is sourced from the best rows at our Morrisons’s vineyard. These are located on the top of the Ridge, overlooking Watervale. Allowing for maximum concentration of fruit, showcasing the Kilikanoon house style consisting of Powerful Elegance.

Kilikanoon Omen Shiraz 2017

Kilikanoon has a history of making some of the best Shiraz wines from prestige regions across South Australia, though today we focus our efforts wholly in Clare. This doesn’t mean however that we weren’t carefully maturing a number of the very best wines from our history. The Omen Shiraz draws on this multi region experience to craft a unique and complex wine.

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 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.

Accolades & Awards:

Kilikanoon Walton Clare Valley Grenache 2020

96 Point Rated - Angus Hughson Wine Pilot

"It is fantastic to see the mighty Clare Valley getting in on the action with the rise of Grenache. As expected from Kilikanoon, it is a rich and bold style but also carries with it an impressive core of savoury fruits that provide very serious impact and appeal. Deeply coloured for Grenache, it is dark and moody with dense layers of slate, roasted meats and tar well supported by blackberry and cherry fruits. It’s then densely structured with hearty tannins and lashings of dark berry fruits before finishing long and strong. A very impressive Clare Grenache that will get even better with some time in bottle."

Kilikanoon Walton Clare Valley Grenache 2020

95 Point Rated - Aaron Brasher The Real Review

"Youthful, vibrant red in the glass. Exotic aromas of five spice, cola, blueberry, dried herbs and red cherry. Flavours are mid-weighted, rich and fleshy. There’s plenty of red and blue fruit drive, supple and caressing tannins and bouncy, zingy acidity keeping all in check. Lovely, expressive Grenache here, layers of flavour and a decent whack of complexity."

Kilikanoon Tregea Reserve Clare Valley Cabernet 2018

96 Point Rated - Ken Gargett Wine Pilot

"The comments on the Block’s Road Cabernet, pertaining to the glories of Clare Cabernet, apply three times over here. This is a serious Cabernet which can sit comfortably with the nation’s top examples. The small parcels of grapes see open fermenters and are then basket pressed to a range of French oak barrels, some new and some seasoned, for 18 months. It is bottled without filtering or fining. Maroon in colour, this is richly flavoured with notes of chocolate, cassis and blackberries. Cigar box, mulberries and tobacco leaf notes, with a hint of the traditional Cab herbaceousness, but it is simply there as just one more factor contributing to the complexity. There is exceptional oak integration too and impressive length. The palate is juicy, ripe and supple with bright acidity and finishes with the silkiest of tannins. A really exciting Cab. Terrific now, but there is real potential here. Who knows just how good it could be in a decade."

Kilikanoon Tregea Reserve Clare Valley Cabernet 2018

95 Point Rated - Ray Jordan Wine Pilot

"This wine moves into a heady zone of high-quality Cabernet from Clare. And it’s a wine destined for many years in the cellar, but one which is so drinkable even now. Minty, blackcurrant fruit on the nose with a ripe plummy influence. The palate is super concentrated with black, liqueurish fruit cascading effortlessly and deep to deliver sustained length. Chewy and lavish with an energy that drives it."

Kilikanoon Tregea Reserve Clare Valley Cabernet 2018

94 Point Rated - Ned Goodwin James Halliday's Wine Companion

"Low yielding fruit, hand-picked. Shouldn't this be the norm rather than bragging rights at this price? Admittedly, the range of Cabernets at this address is like no other. The saturation of fruit, miraculously fidelitous to variety and place, is impressive. Blackcurrant and mulberry; anise and tapenade; sage and bouquet garni, barrage across the mouth, staining every pore. Powerful, sure. But not galumphing. Long and impressive for the idiom. Like eating wine, rather than drinking it."

Kilikanoon Morts Cut Clare Valley Riesling 2020

95 Point Rated - Decanter World Wine Awards

Kilikanoon Oath Clare Valley Grenache 2018

96 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit

"It's immensely complex and seductive on the nose showing dark berry, smoky bacon, potpourri, cedar and dark chocolate notes, leading to a powerfully graceful palate offering terrific concentration within a velvety frame. Richly styled yet harmonious and refined with an impressively long polished finish. At its best: now to 2033. $65.00. www.kilikanoon.com.au. May 2022."

Kilikanoon Oath Clare Valley Grenache 2018

94 Point Rated - Ken Gargett Wine Pilot

"We recently looked at the excellent Walton’s Block Grenache from this producer, an old block of vines from the Clare. Now comes their Oath Grenache, again from the Clare and from another strong vintage. I think that I might prefer this one even more than the Walton at this stage. In ten years, who knows, but it will be fun to find out. Great to see the Clare doing so well with this variety – exciting things lie ahead. A lovely pale crimson in colour, there is a hint of cinnamon-y spice, warm earth, dry herbs, cherries and leather. Red fruits, especially raspberries, are to the fore. Supple, soft and with impressive length, this wine offers the classic Grenache tannins, both silky and ever so slightly sandy with very good overall balance. This is a cracking Grenache – it really does have a good decade ahead of it."

Kilikanoon Oath Clare Valley Riesling 2022

95 Point Rated - Australian Wine Showcase Magazine

"Nose has fusion of spicy, orange peel aromas. A rich, full palate with delicate lemon, lime flavours and crisp acidity."

Kilikanoon Oath Clare Valley Riesling 2022

95 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit

"Exquisite and precise, showing lime and lemon peel aromas with hints of crunchy apple and white floral. Gorgeously restrained with clarity and purity, it's brilliantly focused and linear in the mouth with a prolonged sleek finish. At its best: 2027 to 2042.

Kilikanoon Oath Clare Valley Shiraz 2021

95 Point Rated - Australian Wine Showcase Magazine

"Complex, briary fruit and cedar oak aromas with layers of intense blackberry and spicy oak flavours. It's a good wine that has a long lingering finish."
