Kilikanoon, Clare Valley, South Australia
Since being founded by winemaker Kevin Mitchell in 1997, Kilikanoon Wines has built an enviable reputation for consistently crafting outstanding wines. This is demonstrated by the numerous awards and accolades Kilikanoon Wines has received, including recognition from James Halliday in the 2013 Australian Wine Companion as Winery of the Year.
Clare Valley wines are well regarded for elegance, powerful generosity, balance of length and fruitfulness, as well as attractive soft tannins. Kilikanoon Wines attributes much of this to the high diurnal temperature difference – warm, dry days and cool, crisp nights. During the growing season, the grapes ripen under the heat of the sun by day and are refreshed at night, allowing optimal fruit ripeness, tannin and flavour development before the fruit is sugar-ripe, which ensures that acid levels are retained. Kilikanoon Wines epitomises the structured acid backbone style that complements food so well.
