The name Eligo means “to pick out” or “select the best,” and the wine reflects that idea with depth, structure, perfume and serious length. The 2021 vintage was outstanding across the Barossa, producing a wine with powerful dark fruit, lifted spice, fine oak integration and a commanding yet polished palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1krg0gn\" data-start=\"575\" data-end=\"592\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"594\" data-end=\"677\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"594\" data-end=\"604\"\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black fruit, anise, clove, florals, blackberry, dark plum and liquorice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"679\" data-end=\"808\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"679\" data-end=\"690\"\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Richly textured and deeply layered, with tightly packed dark fruit, ironstone, liquorice and excellent concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"810\" data-end=\"913\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"810\" data-end=\"821\"\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, powerful and refined, with integrated chocolatey tannins and exceptional persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"o-p c-tasting__description-main-blurb\"\u003eHalliday Wine Companion - 97 Points\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"tastingNote\" class=\"o-p c-tasting__description-main-blurb\"\u003eFrom the stellar '21 vintage, the Eligo represents the best of the year and is a split of a range of amazing vineyard sites from the Barossa (62%) and Eden (38%) valleys. It's concentrated and essence-like with deep, resonant blackberry, black cherry and Doris plum fruits with hints of clove, cinnamon, purple flowers, licorice, dark chocolate, cedar, olive tapenade, pan juices and earth. Thick shouldered but balanced and harmonious with melt-in-the-mouth, chocolatey tannins and exceptional length of flavour.

That raises the bar. The fruit came from the Barossa Valley, 62%, and the Eden Valley, 38%. Maturation was for a year and a half, 42% in new French oak hogsheads, with the balance in a mix of older hogsheads and puncheons. Under cork. The colour is dark cherry\/magenta. On the nose we have notes of warm earth, blackberries, smoked meats, liquorice, black cherries and coffee grinds. A touch of toasty oak, but the wine has good concentration and immaculate balance with serious length. This is so seductive. A great year has given us a stunning Barossa Valley Shiraz. Enjoy this wonderful wine over the next 20 years. Drink now to 2045.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"o-h c-tasting__description-main-author\"\u003eThe Real Review - 96 Points\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Deep and rich ruby colour. Mulberry, vanilla pod and ironstone aromas. Palate sings with a harmony of black fruits, iron and violets. Still primary in its offering but with time in the glass a bloody depth builds. All the while powerful, well-wrought tannins bring tension and focus to the power on show. Cellar it and reap the rewards.

His wines focus on balance, site expression and elegance, with Eligo sitting at the top of the range as the finest Shiraz selection of the vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1456\" data-end=\"1796\"\u003eThe 2021 Eligo draws on fruit from both Barossa Valley and Eden Valley, combining Barossa depth, structure and richness with Eden Valley’s lifted aromatics, spice and natural acidity. Fruit was sourced from old vineyard sites across Krondorf, Ebenezer, Moppa, Moculta and Mt McKenzie, giving the wine complexity, power and regional breadth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"7p6opv\" data-start=\"1798\" data-end=\"1821\"\u003eCellaring Potential\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1823\" data-end=\"2025\"\u003eA serious cellar worthy Shiraz.
