The 2019 Eden Hall Block 4 Shiraz comes from selected rows in Block 4 and spent 18 months in French oak. A dense crimson-red opening with fragrant aromatics of violets, rose petal and spice. A delicious Christmas pudding of black fruits that seamlessly amble from the front to the back of a very long palate, finishing with fine, elegant tannins. Enjoy now and beyond 2037.

Vintage Report

In a word, the 2019 growing season was – dry! It started off dry and stayed that way. Mother nature challenged the vines with more frosts than usual and a windy flowering period that disturbed fruit set. To top it all off she threw in a hailstorm on 22 November! Thankfully the punch-drunk vines were given a small reprieve with no extreme temperatures in the ripening period and were put out of their misery with an early, compressed harvest beginning with the whites on 7th March and finishing with Shiraz on 22nd March. The 2019 vintage resulted in our lowest yield on record, but outstanding quality wines across all varieties. Whenever you can find it, grab any 2019 wine from the Barossa/Eden Valley!
