The grapes for Kilikanoon Attunga were obtained from some of oldest vines in the island country of Australia. The fruit is renowned for its intense flavours and its juice for the tremendous ageing potential. The small, thick-skinned berries were fermented and basket pressed to result in low yielding juice. The ferment was then matured for 27 months in large casks of French oak. This wonderful red wine was bottled unfiltered to preserve the character of the grape.

When it comes to the quality and price ($320 a bottle!) of this outstanding Shiraz, the term Super Premium is an understatement. The story of this winery began in, you guessed it, 1847. After the proclamation of a land grant by the Governor for the historic Rowland Flat property, Bavarian immigrant Johann Gramp planted what was the first commercial vineyard in the Barossa Valley. 1847 winery now encompasses some 200 acres of premium estate vineyards. “There's a bright, spicy crunch to the best of '17 Barossa shiraz. This is a refreshingly medium-bodied style laced with red cherries, greengage plums and a hint of black pepper. Tangy acid line and a fine tannin grid carry a finish of impressive persistence... 95pts” (Halliday Wine Companion, Tyson Stelzer).

This old vine Barossa Shiraz is the top-of-the-line Angas King offering. Made only in the best years from premium fruit drawn from a single Barossa vineyard, it’s a truly memorable drop. Gnarled old vines yielding minimal fruit made this an intensely flavourful wine, but also a rare one. As Winepilot’s Ray Jordan says, “2018 turned out to be a very good year in the Barossa. This captures the region, the season and the variety as well as you could expect. It’s concentrated and powerful, and yet there’s a high degree of elegance. Dark, plummy, spicy notes with a little roasted coffee, and just a lick of oak on the finish… 95pts”. Sam Kim (WineOrbit) calls it “wonderfully ripe and inviting, featuring aromas of blackberry, cake spice, vanilla, toasty oak, and mocha. On the palate, it is concentrated, with outstanding weight and rich texture. With a beautifully structured profile and polished tannins, it fills the mouth with delicious flavours, leading to a long and satisfying finish. 96pts”. Drinking spectacularly now, it will cellar well as long as 2040.
