The 2022 Dreams of Gold Shiraz is concentrated, dripping, juicy and saturated. It has a rocky splay of tannin in the mouth that coats the fruit and makes for (pleasurably) chewy drinking. I like this. A lot. There is star anise/fennel on the nose, backed by black cherries, rose petals, resin, singed eucalyptus, fresh mulberries off the tree in summer and a plume of asphalt tannin. It's all about the tannin, really, and the fruit. This is a sensational wine, the best made to date. 14.2% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

The wine was aged in 3 and 4 year old French oak puncheon and Hogshead. “Dreams of Gold” exhibits vibrant red fruits with minty, eucalypt and winter green nose. These aromatics pass through on the palate & complement the soft supple tannins. This is a perfect example of Eden valley Shiraz, seductive and elegant with great balance and length.
