The Kilikanoon Oracle Shiraz won the trophy for Best Shiraz (worldwide) at the world's biggest wine competition, The London International Wine Challenge. It also won a gold medal at the 2008 Concours Mondial in Brussels.

Winemaker Kevin Mitchell said, "we are particularly proud to wine trophies at such prestigious international competitions. Kilikanoon specialises in terroir driven wines, especially Shiraz and of course the Oracle comes from our home in the Clare Valley, from vines planted by my father Mort back in the 1960s and 70s."

"Very deep garnet-black colour. Black cherry and blackberry compote with a dash of vanilla and some earthy, gamey aromas. With coaxing, an abundance of spices begin to show, cassia bud and star anise. Intensely fruity palate with the cedar edges still showing, though these should marry in another year or so. Full body, medium+ silken tannins and medium to high acidity. Very long finish. Drink now to 2017. Tasted February 2009."
