98 / 100"The captivating bouquet shows dark fruit intensity, floral, toasted spice, game and fine oak aromas, leading to an impressively concentrated palate offering multi-layered mouthfeel, wonderfully structured by silky texture and layers of supple tannins. Energetic and luxurious with refinement and structure, finishing seamless and persistent."

"Bright red and dark plummy fruits cut with exotic spice, violet and jasmine top notes, licorice, dark chocolate and Barossa earth. Detail and line are recurring themes in the SoE wines; nothing overblown or over the top, just pure, spicy fruit, a graceful passage across the palate and a distinct regional thumbprint. It’s drinking nicely now but will improve with careful cellaring."

Tasting Notes
Sons of Eden has a simple philosophy to produce wines with flavour and personality from vineyards of unique character within the world class Barossa region. Sons of Eden takes its name from the two partners, Winemaker COREY RYAN and Viticulturist SIMON COWHAM, who both learned and refined their trades in the vineyards and cellars of Eden Valley. To qualify for the Romulus blend the vineyards need to over 50 years of age and managed sustainably. A story that has intrigued us for years is the fable of the legendary founders of Ancient Rome, Romulus and Remus. These twins were abandoned at birth and reared by a she-wolf. Romulus murdered his twin in a fit of rage over the naming of Rome, the city which both had built. Legend presents Romulus as the stronger, more powerful of the brothers, while Remus was more refined, focussed and elegant. We believe the twins’ characterise the distinctive and unique flavours and attributes of Shiraz from the twin valleys – the Barossa Valley and Eden Valley.
