Wine Description
Our ‘Grounds’ red wine releases are a study of the Barossa’s regional hero – Shiraz. Grown on single vineyard sites across the patchwork of the Barossa, our red wine releases look to express the differences in locale of where our fruit is farmed. The Grounds study emphasises the diversity of expression possible with Barossa Shiraz, and how we are constantly learning of the significance ‘place’ that can influence it.
Medium-weighted, the 2019 ‘The Easting’ displays typical Eden Valley Shiraz character of aromatic red Cherry and Blueberry fruits with defining acidity and supple tannins. Understated Shiraz.. Drink now or with cellaring potential through to 2030.
