Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"The prior vintage 2021 EVANGELINE Eden Valley Syrah SOLD OUT in less than 48hrs after winning Decanter World Wine Award’s “BEST IN SHOW"!!
We have enjoyed two of the best vintages in the Eden Valley back to back and will be arguing for decades about which is better… if you liked the 2021, we truly think this one will knock your socks off!!
EVANGELINE* presents an elegant cooler climate expression of Shiraz distinct from its Barossa Valley brethren with its lifted perfume and delicate structure. Cool blue fruits are intertwined with silky tannins and subtle oak influence from 18 months maturation in fine grain French oak puncheons and hogshead barrels. Perfumed. Confident. Elegant."
94/100 Dave Brookes, James Halliday's Wine Companion, May 2025 (2022 Vintage)
Single vineyard; 15% whole bunch, 15% new French oak. Pure, plummy fruits with some blueberry lift and hints of five-spice, sage, citrus blossom, blueberry pie, peppercorn, vanillin oak and panforte. It's a lovely contemporary Eden Valley shiraz this. Expressive and finely structured with a real pep to its travel across the palate."
91/100 Stuart Knox, The Real Review, February 2025 (2022 Vintage)
"Full vibrant ruby red colour. Blueberry, white pepper and bayleaf aromas. Medium bodied, vibrant and lively with blue fruits and raspberry along with pepper spices and herbal notes. Tannins are finely wrought, a lift of acid gives it another layer and it carries to a good long finish. Quite delicious drinking."
