2023 Barr-Eden Estate Dreams of Gold Shiraz - Eden Valley Sa
Barr-Eden Estate Dreams of Gold Eden Valley Shiraz 2021
”From Mengler’s Hill.
Blackcurrant, fresh blackberry, sage and mint, discreet spicy oak. It’s just over medium-bodied, a bright and juicy mix of berries, supple tannin with something of a graphite feel, balanced acidity, cool acidity, and a firm finish of excellent length. Lovely wine. Flavour and finesse.”

“Hand picked early morning, the 23rd of March, “Dreams of Gold” comes from vines planted in 1997 and 2013. The wine has been made in 4 ton fermenter and stayed on skin for 21 days before to be pressed in a small basket press. We blended some of the pressings back to the free run for extra complexity. The wine was aged in 3 and 4 year old French oak puncheon and Hogshead. “Dreams of Gold” exhibits vibrant red fruits with minty, eucalypt and winter green nose. These aromatics pass through on the palate & complement the soft supple tannins. 2021 was with no doubt one of the greatest vintage of the 21st century with perfect condition through the season and the right level of phenolic tannins with nice acidity. Winemaking was minimal letting the fruit shine and express the subtility of Eden Valley. This is a perfect example of Eden valley Shiraz, seductive and elegant with great balance and length.” Winemaker
