Kilikanoon Revelation Clare Valley Shiraz 2010 (Australia)

Description

• French oak
• Tobacco & liquorice
• Dark cherrie
• Juicy acidity

Inky purple in the glass. Compelling and explosive on the nose, waves of tobacco, liquorice, tar and smoky oak notes overwhelm the senses. Sweet dark cherries, tar and earthen spices flood the palate. Rich and textural, the wine deftly combines its mouth filling quantities, juicy natural acidity and fine grained tannins in a long, rewarding finish.

At the very pinnacle of their Kilikanoon portfolio is Revelation; a celebration of the very best wine made at Kilikanoon in any given year. Unrestrained by varietal, vineyard or regional convention, this wine represents a blend that surpasses all those other wines beneath it.

The inaugral vintage of Revelation in 2010 was created from two estate grown Clare Valley Shiraz vineyards. Made in tiny quantities and using traditional winemaking techniques, the wine was matured in 100% new French oak hogsheads for 24 months before bottling both unfined and unfiltered. It has been given well over eighteen months to further improve and mature in the bottle before release.
