Description
Sons Of Eden Romulus shiraz
Deep garnet in colour with a brooding complex aroma of dark cherry, plums and roasted vanillin bean. The palate is powerful and well structured, fleshy, with chewy textured tannins finishing with polish and focus. An exceptional Barossa vintage, this wine will mature well for many years.
James Halliday
This has volume and spread and that’s always a combination worth swooning over. Dense plum, peppercorn, choc-orange and cedar wood characters delivers a masterclass of old vine Barossa shiraz.
Barossa Valley
Keep this one as a long termer. Classic Barossan flavours, big and bold but with some modern elegance
Hand harvested, destemmed and crushed into small 1.5 tonne open topped fermenters.
A range of hand plunging cap management techniques were used across the different vineyard parcels. Post-pressing, the wines were transferred to a combination of new and seasoned French and American oak hogsheads.
Matured for 20 months in oak without racking. The wines were then blended, naturally clarified and bottled without filtration
