Note di degustazione
This 2021 Flaxman Valley is a thoroughly modern and exciting rendition of Barossa Shiraz - about as far away as you can imagine from Torbreck when founded by the winemaker Callum's father, David Powell. It's an thrilling and visceral wine exploding with wild whole bunch characters, cherry cola and camphor. Dark cherry, lavender, Greek thyme with a strong meaty undertow and an almost Burgundian lift only add to the experience. The palate is more restrained with grainy tannins supporting juicy high-pitched acidity, but the fruit never waivers and delivers a lengthy chameleon finish. Traditional Barossa fans may be shocked, but the quality and length are undeniable.

This 2021 Flaxman Valley Shiraz is Callum Powell's fourth release, but this is only his second year of making a single Flaxman wine and a single Ebenezer wine, both Syrah. It was fermented wild with whole clusters in closed vats. This wine is incredibly perfumed and fragrant. There's raspberry coulis, red licorice, black tea and graphite... it's grippy and fine. What a gorgeous wine this is. Long, undulating and elegant AF. I love the tannins—so chalky and fully ameliorated into the fruit, melted almost. There’s a charred lamb fat character in the fruit. This has impressive restraint and length. Awesome. Star on the rise. 13.5% alcohol.
