Sons of Eden Autumnus Shiraz 2016
Sons of Eden Autumnus Shiraz 2016
Established in 2000, Sons of Eden is intimately involved in all aspects of crafting wines of unquestionable quality, from the vineyard right through to the bottle. Varieties that the Barossa produces to a world standard are hand-picked from 30 unique vineyard sites and handled through Sons of Eden’s minimal intervention small-batch winery. As a result, the wines have a strong sense of individuality. With a combined 50 Barossa vintages amassed between the Sons’, Corey Ryan and Simon Cowham, their focus on crafting world class wines is uncompromising.
The Eden Valley climate throughout the late Summer and Autumn months is typified by warm days and cool evenings. The cool tempered early Autumn climate moderates ripening patterns, retains acidity and brings a calm to the harvest. The harvest in Eden Valley is not just about the climate, it’s also about the colours, smells and sounds of Autumn which makes this time of year very special. In only exemplary harvests does the team at Sons of Eden select the very best from their Single Vineyard Eden Valley Shiraz wines for bottling under the Autumnus label.
A compelling rendition offering richness with grace and poise. The immensely satisfying bouquet shows blackberry, tapenade, game, floral and spicy oak aromas, followed by a multi-layered palate exhibiting magnificent power and structure. Substantial and hedonistic, this is seamless, symphonic and immensely gratifying. - Sam Kim, The Wine Orbit, 99 Points
