Terroirs of the Barossa ‘Eden Valley’ Shiraz 2023

$60.00 / bottle

WINEMAKING

Terroirs of the Barossa Eden Valley Shiraz is a wonderful cool climate expression of Barossa Shiraz. To ensure the unique character of this sub-region is exemplified in the wine, small open fermenters and our basket press were employed to gently extract the wine.

Ageing in the finest quality new and seasoned French oak barrels has created a wine that respects and expresses its place of origin

Terroir: The combined effects of site soil and climate on the vine. The  Barossa has some very distinct sub-regions which exhibit their own unique influence on the wine. A journey through the Terroirs is a lesson in the Barossa’s versatility. We have chosen Eden Valley to highlight its rich, darker flavours unique to this high altitude,  cooler climate and rocky, clay loam soils.

Soil: red-grey loams with slate and granite

Altitude: 400m

TASTING NOTES

The wine reflects the slate and granite soils with strong mineral notes, and fruit flavours of blackberry, Morello cherry. Complex deeper notes of earth and cured meats bring the palate to a long and evenly weighted finish.

The higher altitudes and cooler climate of Eden Valley contribute to a style that is beautifully elegant, exotically aromatic and delightfully vibrant and expressive. Nose of plummy, slightly blueberry characters, while the palate has a smooth, lush, plush feel with perfectly integrated fine tannins and oak. A refined and elegant expression of Eden Valley.
