Neldner Road 'Barossa/Eden Valley' Shiraz 2021

Dave and Callum Powell have been hands on with this project from the get-go. You get the feeling that there’s a more slowly-slowly approach, despite the headlines about the flagship wines’ pricing ($750 a bottle in Australia). It feels like a very genuine, more down homey approach in this incarnation of wines. They’re farming and making the wines themselves, so it’s very hands on. Eden Valley Shiraz from 40-plus year old vines and Barossa Valley Shiraz from 60-plus year old vines get fermented in concrete vats and shifted to oak foudres for their remaining life pre-bottling.
