Tasting Notes

Barr-Eden Estate Avenue to Gold Shiraz 2021

"Deep magenta/crimson with aromas of blackberry, black cherry and blueberry with hints of baking spices, licorice, sage, almond blossom, cherry ripe, plum conserve, earth and vanillin oak. Impressive fruit weight and carry with fine, granitic tannins and a particularly bright, minerally line of acidity. The finish is long and strong with oodles of plum and blue fruits, layers of spice and a fair whack of latent power." 94 Points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

Barr-Eden Estate is a storied piece of land situated at the crest of Mengler’s Hill, one of the highest points of viticulture in Australia. Well-known grape-grower Joel Mattschoss first acquired fruit from the site, which sits atop the ancient goldfields of the Eden, in 2014, to produce the first small batch Love Over Gold wine with Frenchman Pierre-Henri Morel. After the passing of the estate’s owner, Barossa icon, Bob McLean, in 2015, a venture began between the two, along with friends Michael Twelftree and Tim Hower, to become the new custodians of this special property of great pedigree.
