Note di degustazione
The schist/granite soils of Eden Valley bring structure and freshness to the wine, yet it retains all the classic dense blackberry and blueberry fruit typical of Barossa. The wine has a complex aroma of fresh candied fruit, dark chocolate, cherry liquor and cassis, underscored by smoky, savoury notes.

The 2016 Shiraz Loechel is certainly the value play in the lineup, and it’s up with the two flagship releases priced at five times the rate of this beauty. Beautiful notes of blueberries, camphor, bloody meats, smoke tobacco, and spiced bacon all emerge from this medium to full-bodied, layered, seamless Shiraz that has a focused, tight, almost backward vibe on the palate. It’s a beautiful wine, and while it unquestionably delivers loads of pleasure today, it will be better with short term cellaring and keep for 15-20 years.
From 70-year-old vines on granitic soils in the Eden Valley, the 2016 Loechel Shiraz features bright, floral aromas, hints of crushed stone and a tight, unyielding core of blueberry fruit. It's medium to full-bodied, firm and concentrated, with plenty of aging potential. It's perhaps the most Northern Rhône-ish of these offerings.
