VINEYARD: Paradigm Vineyard, Seppeltsfield Rd Marananga MATURATION: 20 Months in 225L French Oak Casks

Established in 2000, Sons of Eden is intimately involved in all aspects of crafting wines of unquestionable quality, from the vineyard right through to the bottle. Varieties that the Barossa produces to a world standard are hand-picked from 30 unique vineyard sites and handled through Sons of Eden’s minimal intervention small-batch winery. As a result, the wines have a strong sense of individuality. With a combined 50 Barossa vintages amassed between the Sons’, Corey Ryan and Simon Cowham, their focus on crafting world class wines is uncompromising. Stauros is a Mourvedre made from a unique old vine single vineyard and released only in years of exemplary quality. The vineyard site, in the northern Barossa Valley, is set on ancient soils that have been home to naturally occurring, but rare, stone crosses known as Staurolite. This mineral takes its name from the Greek word stauros, referring to cross.

The Pepperjack range is a tribute to the Barossa’s rich heritage. Our winemaking team have respect for traditional winemaking techniques yet are also dynamic and imaginative. Pepperjack winemakers are conscious of modern wine styles and create wines that reflect their passion for this special region.

Sourced from ancient low-yielding vines and lovingly nurtured on our family estate, this wine is characterised by its intensely concentrated fruit and is a true expression of both the style and the Barossa.
