Tasting Notes

Barr-Eden Estate Love Over Gold Shiraz 2019
"Blackberry, blackcurrant, a mint and sage perfume, baking spices, and a little truffle-like earthiness. It’s medium to full-bodied, a sweet and earthy uptake of concentrated black fruit, tannin is thick and sooty, but slightly drying, and there’s some black tea and black olive in the mix too, with a finish of weight and depth. It’s maybe a bit squishy and malty, but has plenty of Eden Shiraz character." Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

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.
