One of Ten Best New Wineries - James Halliday Wine Companion 2019

Brave Souls was born as a project of new creative collaborations, with the vision towards making contemporary Barossa wines, high on drinkability and value. Made at the Sons of Eden winery by our good friends Corey and Simon; and with label art by Bruce Goold, of iconic Mambo brand fame, who generously agreed to visualise the tales of the “Brave Souls” involved in the shipwreck of the SS Admella off the coast of South Australia in 1859. 

Brave Souls Wine The Able Seaman 2022
Sitting a light, bruised magenta in the glass, The Able Seaman presents itself very nicely indeed. The nose is all pure plum and cranberry fruits packed with gingery spice, pressed wildflowers, cola, amaro, earth and red licorice. It's got space and detail, perfectly balanced bright acidity and silty tannins, finishing sapid and delicious. A great modern Barossan grenache that provides wonderful drinking.
Rating: 94 Points, Special Value

Brave Souls The Able Seaman Grenache 2022
Here’s a good wine in a more throaty style. Dark cherry, plum, liquorice, sage and spice. Medium to full-bodied, sandy tannin, plum, and chocolate dipped strawberries, baking spices, with a grainy finish of good length. Plenty of flavour and a good amount to chew on. Value is bang on.
