Glen Eldon Twisted Trunk Barossa Valley Shiraz 2023

"A thoroughly exquisite example of an old vine Barossa Shiraz" (Ray Jordan) with 95-97pt scores. It comes from vines planted in 1865, made in tiny quantities and not every year., by winemaker Richard Sheedy who owns this Eden Valley property with his wife Mary. "...sumptuous and powerfully expressed, showing blackberry, dark chocolate, baking spice, and toasty oak… outstanding depth and richness, wonderfully complemented by velvety texture and beautifully pitched tannins, finishing plush and gratifying. 97pts” (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit). For Ken Gargett, WinePilot it is: "Such a generous and welcoming style, but it still has at least ten to twelve years of providing pleasure ahead of it. Quintessential Barossa. 95pts.” and Ray Jordan goes on to say: "It comes from a single vineyard in Krondorf that was originally planted back in 1865 but rejuvenated and replanted under the Sheedy family from 1998. It is made in tiny quantities when the planets align.... Seamlessly integrated with such silky fine tannins and perfectly integrated oak. Texture and mouthfeel are quite brilliant, capturing the qualities of the fruit. 96pts”
