E&E Black Pepper Shiraz 2016

The opulent Barossa Valley Estate E&E Black Pepper Shiraz is meticulously crafted from the finest mature, independently dry-grown vineyards nestled in the northern Barossa sub-regions of Moppa and Ebenezer. These vineyards, boasting an average age exceeding 60 years, produce fruit of unparalleled power and finesse. Employing open-headed down fermenters and undergoing a carefully orchestrated aging process in a blend of new, one, and two-year-old American and French oak for a duration of 12 to 18 months, this wine emerges as an embodiment of excellence.

Distinguished by its remarkable intensity and concentration, the E&E Black Pepper Shiraz captivates the palate with notes of dark choco-berry, seductive liquorice, ripe tannins, mid-palate richness, and a nuanced undercurrent of malty oak complexity. Beyond its immediate allure, this wine is endowed with the structural attributes necessary for medium to long-term cellaring, rendering it highly coveted in the secondary market.
