Kirrihill Regional Series Shiraz – The Shiraz entices with a perfume of lifted raspberry, blackberry, and caramel spice. A rich, medium bodied wine with vibrant black fruits, well-integrated oak, and a smooth, lingering finish. Pairs perfectly with great conversation and backyard BBQ’s
2020 was a dry season with below average rainfall. Hot and windy conditions during flowering caused several vineyards to be inconsistent with fruit set, while hot conditions produced low crops with intense flavour. Diligent vineyard management prevailed, with excellent quality fruit having now produced wines with outstanding flavour.
Select Shiraz parcels were fermented in small batches across a two-week period. Cool ferments ensured that maximum vibrancy and freshness was maintained in the wines. The wines were pressed into stainless steel tanks to complete secondary malolactic fermentation, followed by maturation in tanks for freshness, with a small percentage seeing some French and American oak.
Founded in 1998 by long-time friends and locals, Sean Edwards and Rob Stanway, the focus at Kirrihill is on the pursuit of growing the best quality fruit possible, whilst managing the vineyards sustainably and respecting the individual sites. The micro-climates within the three small valleys that make up the Clare Valley region provide their winemakers with a diversity of fruit selections to produce expressive wines of purity and intrigue, particularly aromatic Rieslings, which speak profoundly of their place.
Sitting atop the ‘Golden Mile’, a stretch of rare terra rossa soil, their highly prized Schobers Vineyard is one of the most distinguished red wine producing vineyards in Australia. Contour planted on rolling hills at the southern tip of Clare Valley, Schobers Vineyard has consistently produced Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon wines of great complexity, which are rich in concentration with distinctive Clare Valley character.

flourish in a range of climates. In the warm to hot climates you can expect extremely intense aromatic, rich, full bodied wines, with hugh fruit (almost sweet) and chocolately tasting. In the more moderate/cooler climates you’re more likely to find structured Shiraz wines with black cherry, pepper and spice characters rather than the chocolate and fruit styles found in warmer climates.
