2014 Epsilon Shiraz

Epsilon is the project of Aaron and Julie Southern (Julie is a member of the Kalleske clan) who own vineyards in the Northern part of Barossa. As the familiar story goes with so many growers they sold off their fruit to larger wineries until a chance meeting with the Massena boys Dan Standish and Jaysen Collins. Under their guidance they convinced them to start up their own brand in 2004 and built a winery on the property. Sourced from a single vineyard the wine sees approximately 10 months in older French oak with only the best batches making the final blend. Jaysen Collins oversees the winemaking operations.

An exotic Barossa Shiraz with boundless richness

Outstanding colour displaying an impenetrable inky black core with a very deep dark purple black tinged hue. The nose is filled with intense aromas of liquorice, blackberry and dark plum with an overlay of fennel, smoky oak and spice. Flamboyantly rich and concentrated with a plush textural feel and good complexity the palate boasts plenty of flesh and opulence with flavours of dark plum, ripe blackberries and liquorice intermixed with fennel followed by smoky cedar and spice. Velvet smooth tannins with a long conclusion of dark plum, blackberries, liquorice, fennel and spicy smoky cedar.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
