Tasting Notes

Barr-Eden Estate Avenue to Gold Shiraz 2020

"Deep crimson with fruit aromas of blackberry, black cherry and macerated plums with hints of fruitcake spice, licorice, sage, citrus blossom, cherry pie, earth and vanillin oak. Weighty and fruit-pure with fine granitic tannins and a meaty aspect flowing in on the palate, finishing long with a tail of Christmas cake spice, black-fruit compote and softly spoken oak tones of polished leather and vanilla." 93 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.
