Barreden Love over Gold Shiraz 2018
- From our Marketplace - Leaves warehouse in 6 days
Dead set. Comes packaged in a varnished wooden box with a silver plate on top of it. And it looks for all the world like a coffin, or something you might put ashes in. Raspberry coulis, poached strawberry, rhubarb, sage and mint, gentle baking spice oak. It’s medium-bodied, plenty of squishy red fruits, a kiss of spicy oak,but kind of sweet, with supple tannin, and a mint and strawberry finish of good length. Its a lovely wine, and very good, and kind of understated, in a positive way. Read more

Tasting Notes
2018 is an excellent Eden Valley Vintage. Coming from a 95-year-old vineyard, the old vines are able to withstand heat spikes, as well as its elevation which brings cooler night temperatures. Destemmed by hand, berry by berry and fermented slowly over weeks. Ten percent whole-bunch Gentle pigeage was performed twice daily with the natural ferment progressing at a cool temperature. Once ferment was complete and after 24 days, free run was drained to a 2 year old extra tight grained French puncheon. Core of ripe and defined fruit with tannins that are coating and very long. It will age effortlessly over 20-25 years.
