Kilikanoon Baroota Reserve Shiraz 2016
South Australia
Loading...
Baroota has always been a steal – a fine Shiraz crafted by the legendary Kevin Mitchell at Kilikanoon – “the most brilliantly run winery in Australia” (Robert Parker). You’ll find this newly released 2016 gorgeously dark, rich, smooth and elegant.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
The Story Behind the Bottle
When our first shipment of Baroota sailed into British waters, we proclaimed it to be our most exciting Australian discovery to date. Several years on, we still reckon it is. The wine is crafted by Kevin Mitchell at Kilikanoon, whose flagship Shiraz rates a huge 98 points from Robert Parker and sells for around $250 a bottle. 2016 was a standout vintage in South Australia, with above average temperatures, lower rainfall and excellent quality fruit. Grapes for this wine were selected from a number of top, early ripening vineyards between premium areas Spencer Gulf and the Flinders Ranges. Vinified in small batches, it was blended and bottled unfiltered for maximum flavour. Rich and powerful, it’s best decanted then served with steak or lamb.
