Description
Sons of Eden co-owners, Corey Ryan (“cut his teeth” as winemaker at Henschke for 10 years) winemaker and Simon Cowham (ex-viticulturist Yalumba) have come up trumps again!
The Marschall is a Shiraz made in a classic Barossan Style. Named as a tribute to the legendary Barossa Vignerons who pioneered the planting of the old treasured vineyards, which the Barossa enjoys today. David Marschall was a man of many talents and in conjunction with growing exceptional fruit was a revered martial artist, actor and demolition expert. His legacy lives on through his vineyards within the Tanunda and Ebenezer districts which make up the backbone of this wine.
The Marschall Family vineyards are located in the Tanunda and Ebenezer districts of the Barossa Valley. The Tanunda vineyard (27 years old) is grown on sandy soils which typically produce aromatic styled Shiraz, while the rich iron clad soils of Ebenezer (60 years old) produce a more dense fruit core and structured styled wine.
The 2022 is here! Dense garnet in colour, with an attractive mix of blackberry, spiced plum and flickerings of star-of-anise aromas. The palate is rich, concentrated and fleshy in flavours with a fresh and vibrant finish. A modern styled Barossa Valley Shiraz, delicious drinking upon release but will mature very well for the medium term. Alc 14.5% Under Stelvin.
Reviews of 2021: 95 points, James Suckling “Another top shiraz with lead-pencil and graphite character to the dark fruit. Full-bodied and tight with firm tannins that run the length of the wine. Finishes with lead-pencil shavings. Very unique.”
95 points and Top 100 Wines of 2022 James Halliday. “A smooth, supple medium-bodied wine is the result, with plum and blackberry fruits, integrated oak and tannins. Value-plus.”
93 points, Natalie Earl for Decanter: “Sons of Eden consistently produce well-loved, high-scoring wines. This Barossa Valley Shiraz is no exception – it’s a well-made, sophisticated wine, deep and dark in the glass. It’s alive with sweet cassis and cherry drops, intense black fruit, spicy plum and mocha. A real powerhouse of a wine that’s elevated by lovely mouthwatering acidity.”
91+ Points, Erin Larkin for Robert Parker Wine Advocate “The 2021 Marschall Shiraz Barossa is routinely an exciting, midweek wine, and if anything, the 2021 season (cool, long, even and without pressure) has amplified all of the attributes already possessed by the wine. This is juicy, spicy, elegant and shaped by silty tannins through the finish. Plenty to like here. Attraction 101. And at under $30, it reconfirms its position as one of Australia’s great value Shirazes!”
