Pretty clove and pepper nose with a rich bramble fruit taste. The palate is full-bodied, rich and structured, the acidity on point. Long, toasty finish.

Corey Ryan and Simon Cowham both learnt and refined their skills in the vineyards and cellars of Eden Valley. Corey is a trained oenologist with over 20 vintages under his belt, having cut his teeth as a winemaker at Henschke. Thereafter he worked for Rouge Homme and Penfolds in Coonawarra, backed up by winemaking stints in the Rhone Valley, and in 2002 he took the opportunity to work in NZ for Villa Maria Estates. In '07 he won the Institute of Masters of Wine scholarship. Simon has had a similarly international career, covering such diverse organisations as Oddbins, UK and the Winemakers' Federation of Australia. Switching from the business side to grapegrowing when he qualified as a viticulturist, he worked for Yalumba as technical manager of the Heggies and Pewsey Vale vineyards. With this background, it comes as no surprise to find that the estate-grown wines are of outstanding quality, nor that in '13 they were awarded the title of Barossa Winemaker of the Year by the Barons of Barossa.

Always the spicier, more fragrant of the twins, SOE's 2017 Remus Old Vine Shiraz takes that character to what seems like new highs, with hints of peppermint, bay leaf, rosemary and cracked pepper that swirl about a core of raspberries and red plums. Medium to full-bodied, it's generous and supple yet elegantly structured, with silky tannins and a lingering, refreshing finish.
96 points - Robert Parker Wine Advocate Reviews 2020
To qualify for inclusion in this wine all vines must be 50+yo and managed sustainably. This comes from three vineyards, two 60+yo, the third 80+yo, so there's no issue on that score. The palate of the wine tells you the vines are in good health. The tannins are polished and fine, the fruits sombre but composed, the balance good.
