Premium Shiraz from our Single Vineyard series, taking grapes specifically from 'The Edge' Block off one of our premier Barossa Valley vineyards. The name was a double-barrel meaning – 'The Edge' Block is (aptly) on the edge of this particular vineyard, with the wine dedicated to a FABAL Chairman, Ian 'Edge' Edgley.
Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
WINE SHOWCASE - 94 POINTS - GOLD MEDAL
Aromas of liquorice and cloves. The palate shows load of lovely dark, ripe red fruits balanced by toasty oak tannins.
WINE ENTHUSIAST - 88 POINTS
The wine is deep ruby in color, saturated enough to leave color on the glass. The aroma is coconut forward, then followed by caramel, cinnamon and fruit. The slightly desiccated fruit of black plum and cherry is pervasive, but met with dried violet. Pencil lead underscores the creamy-textured palate. Though the tannins are explosive and gritty, surprisingly, there is a freshness of acidity in the finish. This is a full-bodied wine whose nuances get somewhat lost in its broad brushstrokes. Shelf for five to 10 years.
NOSE: Black fruits, spice, dark chocolate
PALATE: Primary black and red fruit characters with creamy, round oak palate.
PAIR: Beef Parmigiana and hand-cut chips.
