Single Vineyard, Eden Valley Wines of elegance and finesse
ESTATE GROWN . FAMILY OWNED
In stock
The 2022 Springton Shiraz has a dense crimson appearance and opens with an intriguing nose of lavender, sage and white pepper over green peppercorn. A glorious silky wine follows, with seamless integration of juicy black plum, chocolate and caramel pouring over the palate and then climbing over the back and the sides with velvety tannins providing enticing length. Made to drink now, but will last.
Winter rainfall in 2021 was near average for the second year running so that again soils filled to saturation point. Indeed there were follow up rains in October and November which meant that we did not have to tap into the limited reserves in our dam until December.
An extreme weather event on 28 October, including hail, caused damage across the Barossa and Eden Valley, but somehow we were largely spared. Frost events had less impact compared to previous years and late flowering avoided the windier conditions leading to good fruit set. The summer months were mild with welcome rain in late January providing ideal ripening conditions.
Vintage was well paced starting on 29th of March with Riesling from block 8 and finishing on the 3rd of May with Cabernet Sauvignon from block 6.
The 2022 vintage delivered well balanced yields and is a step up in quality from bits highly credentialed predecessor.
