Description
Named as a tribute to the legendary Barossa Valley Vignerons, The Marschall from Sons of Eden, commemorates those who pioneered the planting of the old treasured vineyards, which the Barossa enjoys today.
A man of many talents, the legacy of David Marschall lives on through his vineyards within the Tanunda and Ebenezer districts, which make up the backbone of this wine.
Sons of Eden Marschall Shiraz 2022 vintage is a dense garnet in colour, with an alluring mix of red-licorice, spiced plum and white chocolate aromas.
The palate is rich, rounded and intensely flavoured, finishing with a robust vitality.
Delicious drinking upon release but will mature very well for the medium to longer term.
2020 was not the easiest vintage in the Barossa and this is a good effort.
It’s deeply coloured to start and then has some quite serious upfront fruit impact – layers of dark fruit pastilles are wound up with toasty oak in a style with wide appeal.
There is a real juiciness to the fruit too on the palate – sappy cherry fruits and blackberries before finishing on a more muscular theme with oak tannins coming into the frame.
It’s a little edgy right now but will settle down very nicely indeed over the next two or three years.
But if you do want to drink it young, bring out a rump steak.
