Sourced from the Battely vineyard in Beechworth planted on a boney ridge of hill to very poor soils composed of a red sandy loam with slate and ironstone fragments present. This wine is the second release from this vineyard since Eldorado took over management in 2017 and started a process of regenerating the vines that were in very poor health at the time.
"Composed of 97/3% shiraz/viognier. Four different shiraz clones, four separate ferments and a whole lot of winemaking, including fermentation in an imported Italian concentrate 'tulip', go into this little beauty. Deepest purple hues. Makes a youthful, almost playful fist of shiraz with plenty of lively black- and red-fruited energy and pretty aromatics. Violet, sage, peppercorn, earth, allspice and dark cocoa powder pack the palate. It's complex, slurpy delicious and has an astringent, dry finish." 92pts | Jeni Port | Halliday Wine Companion
