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 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.
97 Point Rated & 5 Stars - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"This is graciously rich and sensually appealing with blackberry, toasted spice, tar, anise and roasted nut aromas, followed by a concentrated palate that's packed with lavish texture and layers of velvety tannins. Engaging and symphonic with a prolonged, gratifying finish. At its best: now to 2040. $150.00. April 2024."
