Kilikanoon Covenant Shiraz

Kilikanoon Covenant Shiraz 2024 from Clare Valley is a rich, succulent Shiraz drawn from multiple Covenant‑grade vineyard parcels – deeply flavoured, plush and seriously satisfying without tipping into jammy excess. Covenant Shiraz 2024 shows dark, old‑vine generosity wrapped in polished structure.

In the glass, expect ripe mulberry, blackcurrant and dark plum alongside blackberry and ripe blueberry, lifted by a core of bright red fruits. Savoury notes of olive, bay leaf, soft fresh herbs and subtle spice sit over chocolate and fine French oak. The palate is full‑bodied and layered, with smooth, plummy fruit weight, supple tannins and just enough acidity to keep that long, dark, moreish finish in check.

It’s tailor‑made for grilled rib‑eye, lamb shoulder, slow‑braised beef cheeks, venison casseroles and richly sauced pasta, as well as aged cheddar and hard, nutty cheeses where its dark fruit and savoury herb notes can really sing. Kilikanoon Covenant Shiraz 2024 is the sort of Clare Shiraz you can pour for a hearty Sunday roast now or cellar for close to a decade for extra complexity.
