1998 | Barossa Valley Estate | E & E Black Pepper Shiraz

Ripe, plush and generous with its gorgeous blueberry, raspberry and plum fruit, shaded with meat and black truffle notes that weave through the long, cushiony finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: From a terrific vintage, and still going strong. Smells great—like beef and leather, with black fruit underneath. In the mouth, it's structured and bright, its pure berry fruit operating in easy harmony with accents of pencil eraser and caramel. Finishes long.

• James Suckling: Ripe, plush and generous with its gorgeous blueberry, raspberry and plum fruit, shaded with meat and black truffle notes that weave through the long, cushiony finish. Has plenty of power and elegance.

Producer Information

Hidden away in the hills on the southern rim of the great Australian continent, the Barossa region has its own unique climate and is world famous for its reds. The valley has great wine making history going back to 1842 – something we celebrate from the very heart of it every day. Tucked away in the hinterland of South Australia, between a great Southern Ocean and an endless ‘outback’ desert, the Barossa is blessed with a Mediterranean micro-climate and ancient soils that produce some of the world’s greatest red wines. The 200 million-year-old soils of the Barossa are among the most ancient on Earth. Their rich mineral content and low to moderate fertility restricts vine vigour and contributes to small yields of exceptional quality fruit and flavours that aren’t found anywhere else on Earth. Though located in the hills of a faraway land at the bottom of the world, the Barossa is blessed with its own Mediterranean micro-climate that comes with more sunshine hours and less humidity than either of the world’s other great red wine regions, Bordeaux and Burgundy. Such warm, dry climatic conditions, combined with the acidic, mineral richness of the Barossa’s ancient soils, contribute to low yields of tiny but flavour-intense fruit.
