Kilikanoon 'Covenant' Shiraz 2018

The Covenant Shiraz is composed from several premium estate and privately owned vineyards throughout the Clare Valley. Richly flavoured with a strong linear focus, supple tannins and a long finish, the palate carries over sweet plums, fresh licorice and soy sauce in addition to introducing savoury meats and charcuterie to the mix. Perfectly encapsulated the regions precision and personality.

"There's plenty to consider here: the whorl of dark fruit all spiced up with licorice, the dark chocolate flecked with mint, and the savoury spectrum with charcuterie and soy sauce. It's voluminous across the palate, but contained. The tannins are firm, just some green edges sneaking in and of course the oak is firmly in place."  Jane Faulkner.  The Wine Companion.
