Tasting Notes:

Packed with a multitude of vibrant, powerful fruit layers and a commanding depth of flavour. It also displays hints of spice and liquorice and finishes with integrated, fine grippy tannins. While we intend for the wine to be approachable in its youth, it will benefit from at least 5 years of cellaring and should be in good drinking zone for at least 15 years.

Technical:

2019 was a vintage where quality has triumphed over quantity, with spring frosts and dry conditions combining for greatly reduced yields across the Barossa. Volumes were well down on average, some vineyards more than 50% down, particularly in Eden Valley. However, the fruit we did (very gratefully) receive showed exceptional depth of colour, vibrant yet concentrated fruit with plenty of structure on the palate. 2019 will be remembered as a year for texture, structure and richness. The parcels of fruit were fermented separately in small stainless-steel fermenters with submerged caps & twice daily pump overs. Some batches were left on skins for up to 2 weeks to extract additional colour & structure. Post classification, the component wines were matured in oak for 18 months, 55% new fine grain French oak hogsheads & the balance in older, seasoned hogsheads. Sourced from old vineyards in the Moppa, Ebenezer & Eden Valley regions comprising 54% Barossa Valley, 46% Eden Valley.

Accolades & Awards:

96 Point Rated - Erin Larkin Robert Parker Wine Advocate
“The 2019 vintage was the first in two consecutive drought years in the Barossa, and the wines are unsurprisingly concentrated and brooding. In this 2019 Eligo Shiraz, we see lashings of exotic spice, aniseed, licorice and resinous char contained within a framework of fine, silty tannins. This is a big wine, make no mistake, but eminently balanced.”

95 Point Rated - Dave Brookes Halliday Wine Companion
In 2019, John Duval's subregional shiraz blend saw the Barossa Valley just nudge out the Eden Barossa Valley, 53/47% respectively. The Eligio has always been a study of concentration of fruit and detail and nothing has changed with this release. Powerful blackberry and plum fruits, graphite-cored and studded with spice, earth and dark chocolate. Substantial granitic tannin plunges through the heady fruit providing ample support and the finish trails off admirably.

95 Point Rated - Huon Hooke The Real Review
Tremendously concentrated colour, deep, dark and brooding, and it stains the glass. Black pepper, iodine and spice aromas. The wine is very full bodied, massively structured and powerful, the tannins grippy but balanced. It's a wine that begs to be cellared and will surely repay long keeping. A whopper, but it doesn't overplay its hand. Oak and extraction have been superbly handled.
