Deep blood red with crimson hues. Multilayered and intense, with attractive flavours of cherries and blackberries, subtle leafiness and hints of emerging cigarbox combining on the nose, further enhanced by smoky oak char. Pitch perfect with seductively polished tannins, dark fruit flavours and textural consistency, with juicy cassis, bell pepper, and lingering oak persistence.
Blocks Road Cabernet Sauvignon is named after one of the founding vineyards that produced the four original wines of Kilikanoon in 1997. Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon remains limited in production however is highly sought after.
Drawing on traditional winemaking techniques of open fermentation, hand plunging and basket pressing for gentle colour, flavour and tannin extraction. Each parcel was kept separate until final blending after eighteen months in a selection of new and seasoned French oak barrels.
Winemaker and proprietor Kevin Mitchell purchased the property of the same name in the hamlet of Penwortham in South Australia's picturesque Clare Valley. Hailing from a long line of wine grape growers, Kevin now had the opportunity to turn the vision of creating his own wine brand into a reality.
