95 Points James Halliday — Kilikanoon's Flagship Single-Vineyard Clare Valley Shiraz

The 2016 Kilikanoon Covenant Shiraz is one of the estate's most celebrated single-vineyard Clare Valley Shiraz expressions — a 95-point flagship wine from one of South Australia's most decorated wineries.

My Wine Man on Kilikanoon

Kilikanoon is one of South Australia's most successful wineries, with multiple Halliday Top Winery of the Year accolades. The Covenant is the estate's flagship Clare Valley Shiraz — sourced from old-vine fruit and matured in premium French oak.

Tasting Notes

Deep crimson with profound concentration. Dark plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, mocha, vanilla bean and a touch of cedar. The palate is full-bodied with ripe velvety tannins and a long, generous finish. 95 Points — James Halliday.

Style & Drinking Window

Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Drinking beautifully now and through 2032. Decant 1 hour.

Food Pairing

A 95-point Clare Valley flagship deserves the finest beef. We love it with Australian Grass-Fed Cape Grim Rib-Eye Steak from My Meat Man — dry-aged and char-grilled medium-rare with bone-marrow butter, a magnificent match for Covenant's dark plum, mocha and velvety old-vine Clare Valley tannins.
