2016 Sons Of Eden Stauros Mourvedre, Barossa Valley

Corey Ryan and Simon Cowham's flagship, single-site mourvèdre from the Schulz family vineyard in Moppa. It's immediately broody and meaty from first sniff. Black cherry and deep-black plum fruits cut through with notes of exotic spice, veal jus, cassis and earth. There is initially a soft, open-knit fruit attitude that swells and compacts with great meaty purity, with layers of complexity and firm, superfine feathery tannins providing a sound frame for the savoury, spiced plummy fruits. Complex and enchanting drinking.

Dark inky in colour this wine bursts out of the glass with ripe berry compote, underpinned by lifted violets and subtle dried herb aromas. The palate is modern, fresh and lively displaying a rich mid-palate complexity. From an outstanding Barossa vintage, the wine is approchable now but will mature well for many more years.
