Kilikanoon named James Halliday Winery of the Year for 2013

Kilikanoon Wines, of Penwortham has been named the James Halliday Winery of the Year in the 2013 release of his annual Wine Companion. Mr Halliday detailed how the Clare Valley winery had experienced rapid growth in its relatively short history. “Kilikanoon has travelled in the fast lane since its establishment in 1997, gaining 5-star status in the 2004 Wine Companion, five red stars in the ‘08, moving to the ultimate red star/red name in 2012. This placed it among the best 100 wineries in Australia, yet this year (2013) it surpassed its prior history with 12 of its wines receiving 94 points or above,” he said.
