A beautiful, bold Shiraz with ripe, jammy dark and red berry fruits and a touch of eucalyptus and pepper on the nose. The aroma does not deceive – these rich and robust traits follow through on the palate and are enveloped in an extremely smooth and supple texture. A winner at the original price, an epic acquisition at the discount !
“Its name refers to the US military habit of scrawling “Kilroy was here” graffiti wherever they travelled and, according to Rocca, is ‘all about making your mark in the world’.”
“Full-on Barossa Valley Style, with considerable intensity and length to the array of black fruits, a touch of dark chocolate and oak.”

’09 Mendel Semillon
“The 2009 Semillon, (a grape variety rarely seen in Argentina), was sourced from 60-year-old ungrafted vines with 15% of the wine aged in new American oak and bottled without fining or filtration. Light gold in color, it exhibits an alluring perfume of melon, bee’s wax, baking spices, and spring flowers. Dry and smooth textured with a sense of elegance, this nicely balanced, lengthy effort will provide pleasure for another 4-5 years.”
