RED WINE

Notes 

The first Six Origins project release from the extraordinarily strong 2018 vintage focuses on the Barossa’s hero – Shiraz. Six winemakers have each been charged with producing a wine that presents as a distinctive expression of Barossa Shiraz determined primarily by its origin.

The 2018 Six Origins by Artisans of Barossa features six Shiraz produced from six Barossa vineyards by six artisan winemakers. The wines have been made by:

2018 High Eden Shiraz - Peter Schell, Spinifex Wines

With family roots and extensive wine-making experience in the South of France, there is a strong French connection which drives the style and feel of Spinifex. With a winemaking philosophy that embraces sustainable vineyard practises and minimal intervention in the winery, there is a strong focus on producing wines where balance, purity of fruit and restraint is key.

2018 Light Pass Shiraz – Jason Schwarz, Schwarz Wine Co.

The Schwarz family most definitely qualifies as ‘local’ in a Barossa sense. Five generations a resident, then two generations as grape growers, and now Jason Schwarz as a first generation, self-taught winemaker. Jason’s approach to winemaking is purposely low intervention, with a hands-off approach that ensures the qualities of the vineyard are to the fore in each of his wines.

2018 Keyneton Shiraz – Greg and Allison Hobbs, Hobbs of Barossa Ranges

The vineyard that encircles their home high up in the Eden Valley is one of the district’s oldest. The connection the Hobbs’ have to the Eden Valley is like few others. They look over it every morning when they wake up, they pass through it every morning taking the dog for a walk, they work in their vineyard every day…and each evening they enjoy a glass of wine from the fruit they’ve grown from the vines that surround them.

2018 Angaston Shiraz – Corey Ryan and Simon Cowham, Sons of Eden

The Sons of Eden approach to wine is simple - to produce wines with flavour and personality from Barossa vineyards of unique character.

2018 Gomersal Shiraz – John Lienert, Jack West Wines

Preferring to keep things simple, John makes wines that express a sense of place, wines with plenty of rich and juicy flavour and a good strong backbone – the style of wine for which the Barossa’s Western Ridge is renowned for.

2018 Ebenezer Shiraz – John and Tim Duval, John Duval Wines

After 28 years with Penfolds, including 16 years as Chief Winemaker, John launched his own label in 2003 with the aim of producing wines of structure and elegance from exceptional Barossa vineyards.

This deep red wine comes from the Jago vineyard with optimal characteristics. Amarone Riserva Mater is a wine par excellence that reflects the close relationship with Mother Nature, as depicted in the label by the artist Gianni Burato. It has a fullbodied and softly elegant flavour, with a nose that recalls dried fruit. At the table it is a wonderful ally of braised and refined dishes, and best expresses itself with aged cheeses as well. Uncork it to enliven conversation and lighten spirits. Serve at 18 -19 °C, and success is guaranteed.

Faustino&Eneko is a new wine by Bodegas Faustino. A project that arose from the friendship between the Faustino team and the 4 Michelin star chef Eneko Atxa. The union of two winemaking and cuisine greats. Magic, passion for the land, dedication, painstaking care, family... values that they share and cultivate day after day.

Clean and bright, high colour intensity, very lively ruby red. Very intense, direct, markedly fruity (red fruits), with pleasant notes from the Wood (coffee, toasted), set against a background of light cedar and spicy hints. Powerful and flavour-packed, with elegant tannins and good acidity bringing freshness and a harmonious mouthfeel.

TASTING NOTES:

Shy notes of forest floor, autumn leaves and mushroom with red berry fruit whiffs and some spice. The palate is deceptively light-bodied and soft on entry - with reticient bright red berry flavours. Then the wine reveals its firm core of dark, nuanced brambles and blackcurrant with smoky oak flavours. Pronounced but gentle grip of tannin from oak which is well integrated. Ephemeral, elegant and lithe with a long, refined tail.

Intense red color with a strong sense of spice and red berries, along with notes of preserved fruit. On the palate, the wine is complex and powerful, with round tannins and notes of ripe plum and cherry stone. Overall, an ample, rich and harmonious wine with beautiful balance.

Tasting Notes

Although a little closed when first opened, this wine soon becomes vibrant, powerful Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose is full of red berries, cassis and a refined leafiness. The palate is young and fresh with spicy acidity and gravelly tannins.

The oak is restrained and balanced, allowing the old vine character to shine through. This wine needs time (and patience) to evolve and will reward cellaring in the medium to long term.

A favourite of many of the cellar workers, this classic blend needs some time to unwind. The nose is fragrant, with intense McLaren Vale Grenache blood orange character, supported with ferrous and iodine notes.

There's some initial fruit sweetness on the front palate, quickly morphing into a long line of concentrated red fruit and spice.

The finish is tangy, with young, crunchy tannins, resulting in a wine with fantastic structure and incredible length.

Tasting Notes

The heady aroma is both powerful and pretty with notes of fennel, purple flowers and blossom mingling with ripe, varietal purple fruits and black pepper. The oak is hardly evident which allows fruit and soil complexities to emerge with edges of rhubarb and red mulberry and savoury characters of dried herbs, game and spice.

The palate opens with anise, black pepper, graphite and restrained dark cherries before it gives way to seductive mulberry, plum, licorice and spice. It has great power, depth and length with very vibrant, gritty fruit tannins providing immense structure.

Notes of anise and spice linger for a long time after the last sip.

Information

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.

Tasting Notes

Deep garnet in colour with an alluring complex aroma of dark-cherry, plums and roasted vanilla bean. The palate is powerful and well structured, fleshy, with chewy textured tannins finishing with polish and focus. The 2016 was an exceptional Barossa vintage indicating this wine will mature well for many years.

Tasting Notes 
Nose: The unique vinification process of this Great Reserve provides a complex, elegant nose with notes of liquorice and redfruit, typical of the Tempranillo, along with hints of spices subtly added by the Graciano. During bottle ageing, all of this is assembled with toasty and balsamic aromas (vanilla, pepper, tobacco) contributed by the barrels.

Palate: As the wine is aired in the glass, it discloses its full range of nuances and complex aromas. In the mouth, it reflects our surroundings, with a mild entry and a sense of elegance and balance, ending in long persistence, denoting the craft of barrel ageing and the assemblage provided by a long stay in the bottle.

Food Pairing

A perfect pairing with vegetable and rice dishes as well as pulse stews. It also goes well with meat or vegetable rice dishes, moderately strong cheeses, duck and oily fish.

The grapes used to craft Three Blocks Cabernet Sauvignon were harvested at night, and fermented on skins for 8 to 10 days. This led to the creation of a deep cherry red hued wine. Fresh leafy aromas enhance the fragrant bouquet emanating scintillating perfumes of red berries, roast chestnuts, black cardamom, cigar box and cinnamon. The dense palate presents plump mulberry, black cherry and blackcurrant flavours, accompanied by milk chocolate and blueberry muffin characters. Savoury grape tannins fuse with fine oak tannins to offer a long and balanced finale. This exquisite Cabernet can be carefully cellared for at least a decade to enhance its vibrant fruit profile. It is a great food accompaniment to Cabernet Sauvignon braised lamb served with potato puree.  - Just Wines Au
