A story of the legendary founders of Ancient Rome, Romulus and Remus. Legend presents Romulus as the stronger, more powerful of the brothers, while Remus was more refined, focussed and elegant. We believe the twins’ characterise the distinctive and unique flavours and attributes of Shiraz from the twin valleys – the Barossa Valley and Eden Valley.
Tasting notes:
Vibrant wild berry and subtle sweet spice notes infuse the aroma. The generous
palate displays juicy dark cherry fruits and complex dried herbal notes intertwine
with enduring silky tannins. A refined and elegant example of Eden Valley old vine
Shiraz that will mature gracefully for many years to come.
The 2022 vintage was exceptional for the old vine Shiraz vineyards which produced
elegant wines of great complexity capable of maturing very well for many years
Reviews:
97 Points, The Vintage Journal (Andrew Caillard MW & Ken Garrett)
Deep crimson. Raspberry, blackberry mocha aromas with marzipan, hint bush garrigue notes. Richly flavoured wine, the plentiful red and dark berry fruits, perfectly ripe, gravelly tannins and underlying chinotto notes. Very expressive and beautifully balanced wine.
97 Points, Wine Orbit (Sam Kim)
The bouquet is immensely seductive and inviting with blackberry, bouquet garni, cedar, cured meat, and rich floral notes. The palate is powerful with finesse, exhibiting remarkable weight and depth. The mouthfeel flows seamlessly, complemented by finely integrated tannins. This wine beautifully combines exceptional fruit purity with enticing complexity, leaving a long and gratifying finish.
96 Points, The Real Review (Huon Hooke)
Very deep, concentrated, dense purple-red colour; a massively rich cocoa/chocolate/mocha bouquet together with plum conserve and blackberry jam flavours. The palate is densely packed with hedonistic, profound and concentrated flavour that persists long through the finish and follow-through. Sweet jammy core. This is long-term and will richly reward cellaring.
