From the prestigious James Halliday Winery of the Year, the Kilikanoon Omen Shiraz 2017 is a powerful and elegantly structured red that speaks to the legacy of one of South Australia's finest producers. Crafted from low-yielding parcels of Shiraz sourced across premium South Australian regions and matured to perfection in Kilikanoon’s Clare Valley cellars, this wine represents the pinnacle of multi-regional Shiraz expertise.

Early spring rains followed by a cool end to summer allowed for extended ripening, resulting in Shiraz fruit of extraordinary power and elegance. Each parcel was vinified separately using traditional techniques and aged for 14 months in a selection of new and seasoned French oak hogsheads, creating remarkable complexity and structure.

Deep inky purple in colour, the wine opens with seductive aromas of vanilla, blackberry, pepper, eucalyptus, and subtle liquorice. The palate is rich and smooth, with plush plum and blackberry at the core, evolving into a spicy, heady mix of dark chocolate, mint, and liquorice. The fine, powdery tannins and vibrant acidity carry the wine to a long, velvety finish that is both refined and deeply satisfying.

A standout release that has earned 97 Points and 5 Stars from Sam Kim of Wine Orbit, 95 Points as a Gold Medal Winning Icon Shiraz, recognition from the Real Review as one of the Top Wineries of Australia, and the prestigious 5 Red Star rating from Halliday, this is a benchmark Shiraz with the pedigree to cellar for over a decade or enjoy now after decanting.

Pair with grilled ribeye, roasted game, or aged cheddar to experience its full potential.
