Sons of Eden ‘Marschall’ Shiraz 2022, Barossa Valley

Description

The sunbaked hills and valleys of South Australia’s Barossa Valley provide the perfect conditions for world-class wine. Founded by German settlers in the 1840s, it soon became synonymous with big, peppery, age-worthy Shiraz. And this expressive example by the Sons of Eden showcases the very best of the region. With a combined 50 Barossa vintages amassed between the Sons, Corey Ryan and Simon Cowham, their focus on crafting world class wines is uncompromising. This wine is a case in point – James Suckling awarded the 2021 vintage an outstanding 95 points. Named as tribute to the legendary Barossa winegrower, David Marschall, this elegant Shiraz has a fierce sense of individuality. Expect a bold fruity character with an alluring mix of red-liquorice, spiced-plum and dark-chocolate notes. Its robust structure and ripe flavours make this a great pairing for punchy dishes such as barbecued meats.
