Glen Eldon Twisted Trunk Reserve Shiraz 2024

Share

Harvested from Glen Eldon’s estate owned vineyards in the Krondorf district of the Barossa Valley, planted reportedly in 1865. There’s a reserved, old-vine charm about this wine, traditionally made, cleverly soaking in both new and seasoned oak maturation so it sits comfortably within the fruit which has a delicious thread of crimson plum flavour and a backdrop of baking spices, all delicately woven and finished. Nothing hard or brash about this, and rather a quiet confidence and sophisticated energy that is a pleasure to behold.
