2023 Eisenstone ‘Dallwitz’ Shiraz
Post Type: Product
Deepest of purple at the core, barely fading into the rim. Aromas of mulberry, dark chocolate, dried woody herbs and boudin noir fill the nose. The palate fills with the same intensity the nose experienced. Dark and rich fruit is entwined with chocolate, ironstone and dried herb complexities. Tannins are very subtle, yet clearly carrying a great power to ensure the intensity of this wine remains focused. Line and length are prodigious, it lingers for an age on the palate yet still offers a freshness to the end that delights. Has a huge future for many years ahead of it
2023 Eisenstone Hoffmann Vineyard Ebenezer Shiraz SV902
Post Type: Product
The grapes for the Hoffmann DV (Dimchurch Vineyard) single vineyard wine are sourced from the famed Dallwitz Block, which was largely planted between 1888 and 1912, and more specifically rows 25-30 of the “younger” 70+ year old vines. Depending on the vintage conditions generally between 800 and 2,400 bottles are produced. Deep intense ruby red in colour. Savory fruit with ripe berry fruits overlaying spicey oak characters. The wine is typical of Barossa Old vine and is luxurious and coats the mouth giving eh wine extraordinary depth and length of flavour. The structure is balanced for ease of drinking when young but will support development over many years of careful cellaring.

Post Type: Product
The Matcheoss vineyard lies to the western side of Greenock Greek and is the source of grapes for this wine. The vineyard is situated in deep red soils that slop gently to the east. Wines from the Greenock sub region are considered by winemakers as being “complete”, meaning have a rich even pallet and variety of complementary flavours. This wine exemplifies all of these characteristics.
2023 Eisenstone ‘Becker’ Vyd Koonunga Shiraz SV907
Post Type: Product
The grapes were sourced from Becker Vineyard – Mt Charles block in the Koonunga sub-region of the Barossa Valley. Four generations of the Becker Family owned the small vineyard until it was recently purchased by the Hoffmann family. The exact age of the vines in this block has been lost but understood to be between 70 and 80 years old. The volume produces is limited to the annual yield of this small parcel. Old vine wines from the Northern Barossa produce elegant but powerful wines. They are subtle but have a remarkable length to the pallet and this wine is no exception. Black forest fruits dominate and the lifted fruit is underpinned but elegant French oak spice.
