Kilikanoon "The Lackey" Shiraz 2019 ~ South Australia, Australia

'Australian Winery of the Year' 2018 - International Wine & Spirits Competition Award

2013 Winery of the Year ~ James Halliday ~ Australian Wine Companion

2014 Winemaker of the Year ~ Clare Valley Hall of Fame

Le Sommelier Fou ".....Long, dense and cheeky......Aromas of flowers, black pepper and blackberry. Good acidity level, with dense tannins. Flavors of blackberry, black pepper, black cherry, violet, earth and coffee grinds."

Wine Advocate "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2014 The Lackey Shiraz has slight herbal and bell pepper undertones with a red and black plum core."

One mark of a truly great producer is the ability to evoke the signature quality of their premium bottlings across their entry level range. The Lackey is consistently one of Australia's great-value buys, and this well-priced Shiraz from Kilikanoon offers a tantalizing hint of what can be expected from Kilikanoon more expensive offerings.

Awaiting critic scores for this vintage. Prior vintages have scored well.

The 2002 Clare Valley Wine Show chaired by prominent Australian wine writer and judge, Huon Hooke, propelled Kilikanoon into the spotlight, winning 6 of the 7 trophies awarded.
