Sons of Eden Remus Shiraz Magnum 1.5L 2016 - Museum Release

Tasting Note

Deep garnet in colour with a complex red-cherry and blackcurrant aroma, underpinned by elements of dried spice and bay-leaf. A concentrated, fleshy and well structured palate, indicative of the moderate yielding 2016 vintage. This wine will cellar well for many years to come.

Halliday Wine Companion

Accents of clove and roasted nut are the perfect foil to the core of dark-but-fresh fruit. Warm plum, redcurrant and blackberry flavours hold sure sway, the effect one of pure deliciousness. Firm, smoky tannin asserts the wine's more serious side; in short, it has all bases covered.

The Real Review 

Impenetrable blackish-purple in appearance, this shiraz has tons of extract and lashings of personality. Complex aromas of minerals, stewed berries, licorice, and spices sweet and savoury are very inviting and very powerful. Despite the potency of all this, there's an element of floral delicacy too. Seamless, plush and velvety, with layered ripe tannins, this is a tour de force that should grow into something very special with the passing years

The Story 

A story that has intrigued us for years is the fable of the legendary founders of Ancient Rome, Romulus and Remus. These twins were abandoned at birth and reared by a she-wolf. Romulus murdered his twin in a fit of rage over the naming of Rome, the city which both had built. Legend presents Romulus as the stronger, more powerful of the brothers, while Remus was more refined, focussed and elegant. We believe the twins’ characterise the distinctive and unique flavours and attributes of Shiraz from the twin valleys – the Barossa Valley and Eden Valley.
