Destination: 'Kilikanoon, Clare Valley’



Kevin Mitchell purchased the Kilikanoon property in 1997. Inspired by his father Mort Mitchell, who planted Mort’s Block over forty years ago, Kevin has built Kilikanoon in little over a decade, into one of Australia’s most successful, young, family owned wineries. Along the way Kevin has been assisted by fellow investors, Bruce Baudinet (chairman) as well as two well known Australian musicians, Nathan Waks (cellist with the Sydney Symphony) and John Harding (concertmaster with the Hong Kong Philharmonic).

In addition to 150 hectares in the Clare Valley, the Kilikanoon Group and it’s partners have over 400 hectares of vineyard across South Australia, of which only a very small proportion is selected for the Kilikanoon label. At the 2008 International Wine Challenge (IWC) Kilikanoon’s Oracle Shiraz won the trophy for Best Shiraz (worldwide).
