Kilikanoon Killermans Run Shiraz 2021

Mr. Killerman lived in a humble tin shed in the hills behind Kilikanoon. He foraged through the valley for his meals, finding wild rabbits and many other gourmet treats. Respected as a man from the bush, he knew the secrets of the rich landscape. Killerman's Run reflects the rich landscape and being at one with the environment by sourcing and blending wines from right across the Clare Valley into a seamless, natural and uncompromising wine.

The Killerman's Run range of wines are masterfully composed blends selected from across the finest vineyards and sub regions in the Clare Valley. Our grapes are grown on Ngadjuri country.

With rejuvenating winter rains and an early spring warmth, the vines emerged from their dormancy early in the season. The mild weather conditions continued and the Shiraz fruit ripened slowly and fully, intensifying in flavour through the season. This allowed the teams to harvest parcels at the optimum time.

Each individual parcel was vinified separately, and remained so until the final wine was assembled. Maturation in a selection of seasoned French oak hogsheads for 12 months provides softness and elegance to the silky palate.

Deep red with a vibrant purple rim.

Elegant red-fruited aromas with hints of cherry, anise and mixed spices.

Dense flavours of red and dark fruits, blackberry, sweet plums and peppery spice. The core is concentrated and focused, with a long and savoury finish supported by fine oak tannin.
