Vintage: 2006; Grenache
Always an enduring favorite within the Kilikanoon family portfolio, the Prodigal seeks to deliver the single fruit purity of an old vine Grenache.
Sourced in equal parts from two 60 year old hand pruned and hand picked vineyards, the fully ripened fruit was crushed, fermented traditionally in small open topped fementers, then basket pressed and allowed to mature for 22months in older French and American oak hogsheads.
Intensely perfumed and redolent of cherries, dark chocolate and spicy older oak flavours, the palate offers sweetness and softness yet exquisitely mouthfilling and persistent on thefinish. Another great wine to complement a range of fine foods and cheeses.
An ageing potential of at least 8 - 10 years with careful cellaring.
