'Lackey' is an affectionate Australian term referring to a hardworking laborer of agreeable
character who is generally assigned to menial tasks, yet none-the-less gets the job done without
the merest sign of a complaint. In a similar fashion, Australian Shiraz has long been considered
the workhorse of the Australian wine industry – undeniably full of personality, and the ideal
candidate to get the job done, regardless of the situation! This hard working 'lackey' of a wine
punches well above its weight in personality and complexity.
Made by Kilikanoon winery. Founded in 1997 by Kevin Mitchell, Kilikanoon is a boutique Clare Valley winery with an
international reputation for producing regionally expressive, terroir-driven wines. The
Kilikanoon property, featuring a circa 1860s stone cottage housing Kilikanoon tasting room,
was originally settled by early English migrants who named it after an historic old mansion in
Cornwall. On purchasing the property in the 1990s, Kevin Mitchell inherited 30 year old
Shiraz, Cabernet, Grenache and Riesling vineyards, many of which were planted by his father,
Mort, in the 1960s. Fifteen years on, with the addition of partners Nathan Waks, a principal
cellist with the Sydney Symphony, and Bruce Baudinet, Managing Director of Oracle Estates,
Kilikanoon is rated by US and Australian critics as one of the Clare Valley’s outstanding
wineries, producing bracingly intense and long-lived Rieslings, along with powerful, yet
balanced, Shiraz, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon.
