Vintage 2022
Halliday 5 Star Winery
Gold Medal
PLACE: The Killerman’s Run range of wines are masterfully composed blends selected from across the finest vineyards and sub regions in the Clare Valley.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS: Following mild winter temperatures, the vines emerged from their dormancy earlier than usual. This, coupled with enduring mild weather during the growing season, resulted in slower ripening and elongated time on the vine. These ideal conditions allowed the fruit to ripen evenly and slowly giving natural acid retention while developing varietal character and flavour ripeness at lower sugar levels. It also allowed individual parcels to be selected at the most opportune time as the seasonal rush to harvest was alleviated.
WINEMAKING: Each individual parcel was vinified separately, and remained so until the final wine was assembled. Maturation in a selection of seasoned French oak hogsheads for 12 months provides softness and elegance to the silky palate.
COLOUR: Deep red with a vibrant purple rim.
NOSE: Elegant red-fruited aromas with hints of cherry, anise and mixed spices.
PALATE: Dense flavours of red and dark fruits, blackberry, sweet plums and peppery spice. The core is concentrated and focused, with a long and savoury finish supported by fine oak tannin.
