Why do we love this case?
We all know the expression about dangling a carrot in front of someone. But what if this entire case of wine is ‘carrots’ so to speak? We’re talking about South Aussie after all. All you can really do is dangle an even bigger carrot. So that’s what we did. You’ll get 5 bottles of Kilikanoon Oracle Shiraz 2015, probably enough in itself to make this case find its way to your cart. But why stop there? We’ve added the ultimate carrot, a bottle of Kilikanoon Attunga 1865 Shiraz 2015. All carrots, no sticks...that’s how we roll.

Over 150 years ago the vines for this wine were planted in the Clare valley. It’s not often you come across vines that old, in fact these were amongst the earliest years of plantings in Australia. Pretty neat, hey? Not only have these vines essentially become one with the terroir in that time, but Kilikanoon crops at super low yields to achieve small, intense berries. You’ll see that immeasurable flavour immediately- beyond anything you’ll get just from age or good winemaking. It’s deep red with crimson hues, and all the prowess to follow through. New and old french oak has given this baby structure and intensity; lifted dark fruits, fresh licorice and compote entertain the palate while the vanilla and light spice do the supporting work behind the scenes. It’s sincere yet subtle, immense yet composed. This will not fail to disappoint you, even for decades to come.
YOU’D PAY $350 full price.

This wine speaks of its home, and it’s not afraid to show you all that is great about the Clare Valley. Crafted from prestigious low yielding shiraz parcels, the Oracle is a wine that only sees the light when the vintage cuts the mustard. Each parcel of fruit is treated as its own, respecting the nuances that might arise in each crop. It’s then carefully fermented to preserve the fruit purity. 18 months in new and seasoned French oak has kicked this bad boy into luxury status, and has set it up for years of ageing potential. It rolls across the tongue with focused dark berries and red fruits, before showing you its more brooding side: savoury cured meats, olive tapenade, dark chocolate and sweet spices. It’s easy to see why Kilikanoon are proud to craft this wine as their love letter to the Clare.
YOU’D PAY $90 full price.
