Grape Variety: 100% Shiraz

Growing Region: Clare Valley, South Australia

Chief Winemaker: Kevin Mitchell

TASTING NOTE:
Rich and powerful in both fruit flavour and palate persistence the 'Killerman's Run' Shiraz offers outstanding value to those seeking a wine that will accompany a range of meats and fine foods. Small batches of Shiraz were selected from a range of premium South Australian vineyards then vinified by traditional winemaking methods and matured for up to two years in small French and American oak casks before careful blending and bottling unfiltered.

This wine is crimson in colour. The bouquet has ripe, bold and lifted Shiraz flavours, with rich plum fruits and mocha supported by the French and American oak.

On the palate this wine was made to showcase the unique flavours of Shiraz, the palate tends to be fruit driven but balanced and lengthened by the older oak flavours. A sweet mid palate, soft tannins and warmth of character have created a wine with both power and finesse.

CELLARING POTENTIAL:

Approachable now, or will age gracefully for another 5-7 years.

SUGGESTED FOOD MATCHES:

This wine pairs well with Kangaroo fillets, plus ostrich and venison.
