Barossa Valley Shiraz
It's an honour and a privilege to be associated with Kilikanoon Wines. Their passion for wine-making matches my passion for music (and on top of this, symphony cellist Nathan Waks, co-owner of Kilikanoon, is just as passionate about music!!) More importantly, 100% of my royalties from the sale of this wine go directly to The Celine Dion Foundation, non-profi t organisation supporting a variety of worthy causes with emhasis on helping children in need. Thank you for your support, and I really hope you enjoy the wine.
Celine Dion
Blended from small parcels of hand pressed Shiraz from Greenock and Vine Vale and aged for months in new and older small French oak casks, before bottling unfi ned and unfiltered.

Appearance Brick red in colour with youthful crimson hues.

Nose Notes of wild aniseed, cocoa and fresh plums dominate the aroma, superbly enhanced by the aromas of fine French oak char.

Palate A beautifully poised and crafted palate, the flavours of dark chocolate, rich licorice and spicy French oak effortlessly combine and finesse with the fine grained tannins and naturally preserved
acidity in a long persistent finish.

Bottled July 2013

Cellaring Potential of at least 12 - 15 years with careful cellaring
Pair with: Rich red meats: Osso bucco and Chorizo sausage. Perfect with anything
Italian or for something different try with ploughman’s platters.

Alcohol 14.5 % v/v

Yes, it's 18 here, like most other countries in the world!

I will never understand why it's so high in the US...

Perhaps the thrill/allure diminished when you actually could instead of when you weren't supposed to be?   I know the feeling, though.  Kinda excited to see this.  Anyone know how much a bottle is?

It is not sold by the bottle - click on the link.  It is sold ONLY by the dozen - $320.

Good lord! I realize that average's out to about $26 per bottle, which is high but not horrible (I've seen others sell for $100+ just for a bottle.....) but not everyone wants to order that much at a time.  What are they trying to do, get us all buzzed/drunk so we'll buy more Celine stuff? (As if we needed any help in that department.... )

My family owns a chain of liquor stores and I'm ordering a case! wooot~!

[Xpresso]

At that price, you think they could include a LMBTL cd - and add it to the Australia album sales.

It's 21 in the States, which I agree with because 18 year olds are generally not responsible enough. It's bad enough that 18 year olds pretty much JUST get their drivers license at 18, but then to put a BRAND NEW driver in contact with alcohol? There would be dead teenagers all over the place. 18 year old kids are usually not known for making the brightest decisions.

Can people  have guns in  U. S. at 18?

To buy without an adult, 18 for a rifle and 21 for a pistol. There are a lot of minors with hunting rifles.

go figure, this is why they can't drink...                     a drunk 18 years old with a gun....doesn't match

[celinefanonline]

too bad it's only available in australia for now.....
which means i can order it but it's a bit too expensive for me and u need to buy a dozen not 1.......
if i can find it in the shop or so and just one then i'll get it...

Sadly, gun possession is not even close to the first factor taken into consideration when it comes to drinking. The biggest thing is drunk driving, which is the main reason why the drinking age is 21.

dear celine - why alcohol? i do not consume alcohol you could have chosen something more appropriate like chocolates or something. no i won't be supporting this even if it has your name on it. sorry to say.

[Duchess]

oh and just to add to my comment, i don't even eat chocolates and that's saying something.

she "says" that she doesn't drink alcohol so why is she coming out with something like this? Drinking is not bad if you do it responsibly, but if you say you don't drink than why are you coming out with your brand of alcohol?

[flutefreak]

Oh she does drink some.  There are numerous pics and videos that show her with a glass especially TTEOTW TC tour video , I think she means I don't drink a lot when she says that or maybe its just grape juice?

[DionFanAlways]

When she states that she doesn't drink she is most likely referring to liquor. People usually make that separation between wine/champagne and liquor. (just my opinion of course) I have plenty of patients that say they don't drink but when I ask about wine they say 'oh yeah I have a glass or two'
