The premium Shiraz grapes for the 2003 Kilikanoon Green’s Vineyard Shiraz were produced from ancient vines from our Green’s vineyard located in the Vine Vale district of the Barossa Valley.
Extremely low yields, traditional winemaking methods and 30 month maturation in 100% new French oak has resulted in a wine of great varietal power and finesse.
Appearance: Deep brick red with crimson tints
Nose: Layered and complex, the nose shows ripe plum fruits, coffee, and mocha with spicy French oak.
Palate: read more...Full flavoured, dense and strongly varietal, the palate is a combination of ripe plum fruits, spicy oak strength and integrated tannin. Rich and round with a long persistent finish. Cellaring potential of at least 10 – 15 years.
Alcohol: 15.0% v/v (hide)

- "The stunning 2003 Shiraz Reserve was fashioned from low yields of one ton of fruit per acre, and aged in 100% new French oak hogsheads. It boasts an inky/purple color, off the charts concentration, and a spectacular, full-bodied nose of blackberries, blueberries, graphite, and smoky espresso. 96-98." WA 10/05
