What to Expect

Australia has certainly made Syrah its own, even bestowing it with a new name: Shiraz. In the warm, dry climate of Australia this noble grape, responsible for some of the grandest wines of France, produces an intense, unique expression that is distinctly Australian. The ripe grapes take on classic notes of black pepper and leather that add depth and complexity to the black cherry and plum fruits on the palate. Australian Shiraz has typically been aged in American Oak barrels which impart the wine with a distinct note of vanilla that can add to the impression of ripeness many of these wines have, but the time in barrel also allows the wines a chance to settle and reveal their rich, voluptuously styled mouthfeel.

Winemakers Notes

Vintage: 2004; Shiraz

The premium Shiraz grapes from the 2004 Kilikaoon 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.

Cellaring Potential At least 10 – 15 years.


Appearance: Deep brick red with crimson tints

Nose: Layered and complex, the nose shows ripe plum fruits, read more...

"The 2004 Shiraz R Reserve comes from the Greenocks Crowhurst Vineyard as well as a small parcel in Vinevale. Aged 27 months in 100% new French 300 liter hogsheads, and bottled unfined and unfiltered, it is an opaque purple-hued, backward, but super-concentrated, full-bodied effort with enormous potential. I would not be surprised to see it age like a Hermitage from Frances Rhone Valley. Give it 5-6 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 20-25 years... 96+" WA 10/06
