Shiraz 2021 Barossa Valley Eisenstone Becker Vineyard

Celebrating the rich German heritage of the Barossa Valley, the name Eisenstone comes from a blend of the German word for iron – Eisen and the English – Stone.

The name celebrates the Ironstone soils in which the vines grow and the stone used by the original German settlers to build much of the famous Barossa buildings that still stand to this very day.

This is an unique project headed by creator and winemaker Stephen Cook, who secures special parcels of grapes from the ‘western ranges’ of the famous Barossa Valley which are renowned for producing fuller bodied, powerful wines with amazing depth of flavour and exceptional aging ability.

No more than 800 bottles of each wine are produced in any given vintage, each individually numbered.

Within the Valley there are a number of recognised sub regions that vary in climate & soil type, producing subtle differences in the variety.

Old vine wines from the Northern Barossa produce elegant but powerful wines.

They are subtle, but have a remarkable length to the palate and this wine is no exception.

Black forest fruits dominate and the lifted fruit is underpinned by elegant French oak spice.
