Tasting Notes:

This wine is opaque black at the core and supremely ripe on the nose, expressing an onslaught of beautifully ripe fruit sprinkled with aged balsamic vinegar. They all fall in the baked category in some positive way, like black figs or confit black plums, and they are generously doused with an array of baking spices. Yet the wine is clearly dry and savory, with a combination of lightly leathery tannins and Goldilocks-like acidity pulling the wine into a long finish.

Technical:

The home block vineyard in Springton is just 30 acres split evenly between Shiraz and Cabernet. But such is the differences in soil types and Richard’s dedication to creating distinctive wines that he makes 6 different Shiraz wines from the one vineyard. The aim is to give him the most options when he comes to blending his final wines. One is kept apart. The top block is different: rocky free draining soils, exposed to the evening breezes and all day sun make these the most naturally stressed vines. The resulting fruit has such intensity and flavour that this single vineyard Eden Valley Shiraz is making it’s much more illustrious neighbours down the road sit up and pay attention.

Reviews:

Glen Eldon Eight Barrels Single Vineyard Eden Valley Shiraz 2014 is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 12.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike from Super drinking I took a punt on this one and my hunch was correct. This is a classy Shiraz, full-bodied and with lovely fruit characteristics. It has aged well and I daresay will continue to for several more years. Comes with an old-fashioned cork, too!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Paulo58 from Great Value This wine is a little more expensive than my usual purchases but after reading the review I decided to try it. It certainly did not disappoint and it was every bit as good if not better than the review - Great quality wine.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Kezza from Not as smooth as I thought it would be I bought 6 bottles as they had a good rating, however a little disappointed with it. I gave a bottle to a friend for a present only yesterday so will ask what she thinks of it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jamosarn from A very good wine. I was surprised that this six pack arrived with cork stoppers. Seems so old fashioned even for s2014 vintage. Apart from this initial surprise I was then further surprised at the fine quality of this wine. The nose the palate the flavours and after taste are very rewarding.
