Tasting Notes

Deep crimson in colour, this Barossa Shiraz opens with bold aromas of dark plum, blackberry and black cherry, layered with liquorice, pepper and subtle spice. The palate is rich and full-bodied, showing dense dark fruit, cocoa and savoury oak, supported by fine, firm tannins. Long, powerful and structured finish.

Product Highlights

This is the flagship of a small Barossa producer. It comes from a single grower’s vineyard in the northern Eden Valley, one the makers describe as revered. 2020 was hot and dry, and yields fell across the board. What came off the vines was small and concentrated. The wine spent 18 months in French hogsheads and went to bottle unfined. Eden Valley’s altitude shows in the structure. Jeni Port found firm, fine-edged tannins, red and blue fruits and native bush notes. Huon Hooke went for the savoury side. He found roast meat, spice and dried herbs over firm tannins built for ageing. It has done well on the show bench too, with gold at the 2022 Barossa Wine Show. Six years on, those tannins are starting to settle. This is a bottle for a long winter lunch, where the wine gets a proper conversation. Winepilot gives it until 2035, so there’s no hurry to finish the six.
