Kilikanoon was founded by Kevin Mitchell in 1997 with a vision to create premium quality wines from estate owned vineyards. Partners in the business include classical musicians Nathan Waks and John Harding, but the company retains its ‘family run company’ feel regardless of broad vineyard acquisition.
In recent years Kilikanoon has produced wines from France as an addition to their portfolio, including a Vouvray from the Loire Valley and Syrah based wines from the Rhone Valley. The consortium has also purchased the historic Seppeltsfield winery in the Barossa Valley, famed for its world leading fortified wines.
Kilikanoon Wines Location
Located in the premium wine growing region of Clare Valley, South Australia, Kilikanoon owns and controls over 500 hectares of vineyards throughout South Australia. Famed sites like the Mort’s Block vineyard, planted by Mort Mitchell, the father of Kilikanoon founder and chief winemaker Kevin Mitchell, are a focus for premium wines.
Kilikanoon Wine Types
Shiraz is the foremost variety for Kilikanoon, but there has been great interest in their Riesling wines, particularly from the Watervale site ‘Mort’s Block’. Shiraz, Grenache, Mourvedre, Semillon and Cabernet Sauvignon wines also feature. The wines are known for being full flavoured and often muscular in style.
Kilikanoon Brands
Kilikanoon breaks their wine ‘brands’ into Reserve, Regional, Varietal, Single Vineyard and Killerman’s Run tiers. Killerman’s Run is the entry level range.
Kilikanoon Winery
Winemaking is overseen by heavily experienced Kevin Mitchell and takes place at the Kilikanoon, purpose built winery. Open ferments, basket pressing, new oak and fruit ripeness play a large part in the winemaking process.

Road blocks can turn a pleasure cruise into a bad trip. It’s a good thing they usually only happen in movies and are rare in real life (if you don’t count the F3). Turn the words around and you have Block’s Road, a cracking good Cabernet Sauvignon...
