Shiraz

Barossa Valley, South Australia. Full bodied and powerful, blackberries and cassis. Structure is plump with a good length of aftertaste. Oak is still dominant as a young wine (released December 2007), but this will settle down with time and fruit will prevail...

Winemaking: The wine was fermented in stainless steel static fermenters and pumped over twice per day. Wine was then pressed and transferred to new French oak. It was then racked post MLF, and returned to barrel...

Barossa Valley, South Australia. Eduard Shiraz is deep purple-black in colour. Immediately evoking a serious wine, the aroma is intense and lifted with prominent dark fruit, nutmeg, black cherry, fruit cake and chocolate. The palate is full bodied and concentrated. Generous and mouthfilling flavours of pristine black fruits dominate together with subtle barrel ferment complexities. Tannins are solid but polished adding a muscular structure. This is a very layered wine, with intensity, complexity and detail. Densely packed, Eduard is completed by a dry lingering finish. This is a sophisticated wine of the highest calibre and is worthy of cellaring for many years...

Barossa Valley, South Australia. Greenock Shiraz is deep purple-black in colour. Bright and lifted, the bouquet displays characters of blackberry, cherry, fruit cake, ripe plum, mocha and oriental spice. These ripe black fruit flavours continue to the powerfully flavoured full-bodied palate. Driven by intense fruit purity, the palate is complimented with subtle oak barrel characters. The natural tannins are lightly chalky but fine adding structure to support the strong fruit. With layers of complexity this is a very pure but sophisticated wine of great balance that is completed by a solid lingering finish. Greenock is a complex Barossa Shiraz that has a long cellaring future...

Barossa Valley, South Australia. Johann Georg Shiraz is deep magenta in colour. On the nose there are lifted aromatics of spice, cedar, inviting red fruits, pepper, cinnamon, clove, roast meats, rose perfume, dried herbs, blueberry and nutmeg. The palate is full-flavoured and well balanced with red fruits and spice complimented by subtle background oak. The wine is elegant in weight but still powerful with flavour drive and purity. Savoury flavours of cured meats, a hallmark of Barossa old vine Shiraz, add further complexity and interest. Tannins are fine and lightly grippy adding seamless structure. A lengthy finish completes this distinguished wine. Johann is a superb old vine Barossa Shiraz that whilst drinks well upon release will ultimately benefit from a decade or more in the cellar...
