100 / 100"An opulent, heady, smoky and mineral bouquet of cassis, blackberries, redcurrants and bluebrries is lifted by notes of cracked pepper, roasted chestnuts and dark flowers, all supported by the most remarkable of charry, tight-knit oak. There are also suggestions of eastern spices and old Puer tea. It’s impossibly intense and generous, but simultaneously fine and restrained, delivering an elegant, effortless presence of handsomely oaked vivacious dark fruits backed by notes of smoke, minerals and briar, all wound around a fine-grained spine of artfully integrated drying tannins. Ready to enjoy any time over the next 40 years, it’s nothing short of a masterpiece."

Tasting Notes
The Steinert vineyard is situated in the high hills of the Eden’s Flaxman’s Valley and contains some of the most prized and ancient vines of the Barossa. These historic, dry-grown, rod and spur pruned vines have now passed 120 years of age. The Steinert family still own the vineyard to this day.
The Steinert’s perfume is beautifully complex, displaying dried herbs and spices, lifted florals, dark cherries, red currants, charcuterie meats and smoked wood. Its palate is supple but refined, with a firm backbone of fine grained tannins providing the framework for a kaleidoscope of flavours. It sings with dark fruits accompanied by thyme, lavender, cedar and cloves, finishing with a crescendo of soft, powdery tannins. The Steinert Shiraz is the epitome of the beauty and grace of the Eden Valley.
