Eurus; Greek God of the Easterly wind.
Deep crimson in colour, with an alluring mix of black currants, violets and spiced-cedar aromas. The well-structured and focused palate displays richness and complexity. A wine with excellent ‘bones’ which will mature gracefully for many years to come.
This wine is from the vintage’s best Cabernet Sauvignon barrels and in 2022 was produced from predominantly the Cranes Range and Long Gully vineyards within Eden Valley.
The fruit was handpicked and 100% de-stemmed into an open top fermenter, where it remained for 18 days. Naturally fermented and hand plunged daily then pressed to a mix of new and seasoned French oak hogsheads for maturation. Matured in barrel for 15 months with no racking, before being clarified and bottled without filtration.

Reviews:
93 points - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
Deep crimson in the glass with ripe blackberry, satsuma plum and blackcurrant fruits cut with hints of briar, baking spices, cedar, earth, violets and licorice. There’s a graceful plume of fruit on the palate, which is spicy and herb-flecked with fine, sandy tannin support and a medium-length finish with a touch of red cherry flowing in on the exit.
93 points - Ned Goodwin, James Suckling
Black currants, wild berries, crushed herbs, dried currant leaves, cedar and raw coffee beans on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, with mellow dark fruit and minty, spicy notes. Tannins are creamy and supple with a velvety-textured finish.
