Sons of Eden Marschall Shiraz from Barossa Valley is a bold yet beautifully balanced expression of the region’s classic Shiraz style. Named after the pioneering Barossa settlers, Marschall is crafted from premium vineyards across the Barossa and Eden Valleys, blending the richness and depth of the Barossa floor with the elegance and structure of higher-altitude Eden Valley fruit. Winemakers Corey Ryan and Simon Cowham, both highly respected for their deep knowledge of Barossa terroir, focus on crafting wines with purity, power, and vibrancy.

Deep crimson in color, this Shiraz bursts with aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and dark cherry, complemented by notes of black pepper, licorice, and subtle oak spice. The palate is full-bodied and smooth, offering layers of dark fruit, cocoa, and earthy spice, balanced by fine tannins and a fresh acid line that keeps the wine lifted and structured. The finish is long and generous, with lingering hints of dark chocolate, clove, and smoky cedar.

This wine is a perfect match for grilled ribeye steak, slow-cooked lamb shanks, or smoky barbecued ribs. Its depth and complexity also pair beautifully with aged cheddar, roast duck, or hearty mushroom dishes. While drinking beautifully now, Marschall will develop even greater depth over the next 8–10 years, making it an excellent candidate for cellaring.

Sons of Eden’s commitment to showcasing the best of Barossa terroir shines in Marschall Shiraz, a wine that offers both power and finesse at outstanding value.
