Barr-Eden Estate Love Over Gold Shiraz
Barr-Eden Estate is a storied piece of land situated at the crest of Mengler’s Hill, one of the highest points of viticulture in Australia. Well-known grape-grower Joel Mattschoss first acquired fruit from the site, which sits atop the ancient goldfields of the Eden, in 2014, to produce the first small batch Love Over Gold wine with Frenchman Pierre-Henri Morel. After the passing of the estate’s owner, Barossa icon, Bob McLean, in 2015, a venture began between the two, along with friends Michael Twelftree and Tim Hower, to become the new custodians of this special property of great pedigree. The vines at Barr-Eden Estate were planted in 1928 and 2018 is turning out as an excellent Eden Valley Vintage. The bunches are formed with a long framework and very loose clusters and picked at optimum ripeness. Bunch thinning manages low yields and high quality fruit. Coming from a 95-year-old vineyard, the old vines are able to withstand heat spikes, as well as its elevation which brings cooler night temperatures. Destemmed by hand, berry by berry and fermented slowly over weeks. Ten percent whole-bunch Gentle pigeage was performed twice daily with the natural ferment progressing at a cool temperature. Once ferment was complete and after 24 days, free run was drained to a 2 year old extra tight grained French puncheon. Love Over Gold possesses a core of ripe and defined fruit with tannins that are coating and very long, it will age effortlessly over 20 to 25 years.
Yalumba Winesmiths Shiraz
Yalumba Winesmiths Shiraz 2L Cask is a ruby red and richly fragrant shiraz from the Eden Valley region of South Australia. This Shiraz expresses delicious blueberry and plum fruit flavours, followed by a hint of peppery spice and oak. This is always a great wine to drink with red meat; whether a roast in winter or a lazy summer BBQ on the deck. In 1849 a young man by the name of Samuel Smith, with a passion for horticulture, purchased 30 acres of land in the newly settled township of Angaston. He planted a vineyard and an orchard, which grew to bear fruit and his family prospered. 170 years of winemaking and horticulture later, the elm trees he planted still overlook Smith's original garden and his great -great-great grandson continues the family tradition of winemaking, horticulture and craftsmanship. Fiver generations of Winesmiths have created this timeless range of premium cask wines.
