Sons of Eden Romulus Shiraz 2022

Tasting Note

Intense aromas of blackberry and plum together with subtle coffee bean notes burst from the glass. Plush dark red fruits dominate the palate with background sweet spice notes adding to the complexity. Well balanced velvety tannins travel the length of the palate in unison with the attractive fruit characters. Classic Barossa Valley old vine Shiraz delicious now and well into the future.

Winemaking

Hand harvested, destemmed and crushed into small 1.5 tonne open-top fermenters. The fruit was chilled for 5 days before being allowed to naturally warm to start fermentation. Various cap management techniques were used to highlight the unique characters of the individual vineyard parcels. After approximately 20 days on skins the ferments were pressed and transferred to a combination of new (45%) and seasoned French oak hogsheads. Matured for 18 months in oak without racking, the wines were then carefully blended, naturally clarified and bottled without filtration.
