2021 Neldner Road by Dave Powell Loechel Shiraz

Rich, concentrated and powerful with a long, sumptuous finish.

The Loechel Eden Valley Shiraz is sourced from a single vineyard at the Southern tip of the Eden Valley township. It was planted over half a century ago by the Loechel family to granitic loam, at 440 metres altitude. The wine spends between 18 and 22 months in 50% new and second use French oak barriques.
Impenetrable inky black heart with a very deep dark red black hue. Intense dark plum, liquorice and dark chocolate aromas mix with toasty vanillin oak, scorched earth and peppered dried herb notes. Rich, concentrated and powerful, the full bodied palate is drenched in plush dark plum, liquorice and blackberry fruit. Vanillin oak, dark chocolate, subtle scorched earth and peppered dried herb elements sit in the background. Opulently textured it has velvet smooth tannins and a long, sumptuous finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 14.5%
