Wine Description
Inspired by the Spanish Gran Reserva style, this wine is deep ruby red in colour
with intense dark cherry and smoked plum aromatics, all hinged around a
complex rack of dried herbs. On the palate a fleshy black-fruit core is surrounded
by a layered line of textural savoury tannins. A wine which has matured for 3
years in barrel and then 2 years in bottle before release, will continue to mature
well for many more years to come
Winemaker's Bio
A trained Oenologist and self-confessed wine tragic, Corey lives and breathes winemaking and has amassed a wealth of experience within the Barossa and beyond.
He has a great capacity to think big and act small thanks to his background within the winemaking structures of some household names such as; Villa Maria and McWilliams. It was, however, his time as Winemaker for the iconic Eden Valley producer Henschke that first whet his appetite for Barossa wines that has become his entrenched passion with Sons of Eden.
In addition to his 25 Barossa vintages he can also boast about being New Zealand Winemaker of the Year in 2007 (Winestate 2007) and Australian Winemaker of the Year Finalist 2016 (Gourmet Traveller WINE).
