The Kilikanoon Attunga 1865 Shiraz is the top model of this winery which belongs to the absolute top from Australia, located in the Clare Valley. The grapes for this Attunga come from a very old vineyard planted in 1865, thus reflecting an incredible heritage and history of Australian Shiraz. Located just north of Auburn, the Attunga Vineyard produces unique shiraz grapes and is the icon of Kilikanoon. The extremely old vineyard should produce only 1000 KG per Hectare (this is 10%-15% of what a regular more commercial vineyard produces) and produces fruit that is small, concentrated and unique. Traditional management practices and techniques, including individual sensing during the harvest, ensuring that only the highest quality shiraz reaches the winery. In the glass, Kilikanoon Attunga 1865 Shiraz has a deep red color with vibrant crimson hues. The wine has a dark and brooding nose, bitumen and tar, fennel, chocolate with hints of wood smoke and charcuterie beautifully intertwined. On the palate the wine is sumptuously structured, yet surprisingly balanced, very rich and fleshy with an impressive depth where the primary flavors of dark chocolate, cherry plum and licorice blend impressively seamlessly into a long finish enveloped in smoked meats, finely positioned tannins and a great acid structure. A wine to enjoy now, but can also be stored in the cellar for decades without any problems.
