Maturation: Aged for 12 months in 2nd-4th fill American and French oak barrels, this wine attains its distinct personality and complexity.
Vineyards: The grapes for Opulent Shiraz come from vines planted between 1990 and 2005 in the iconic subregions of Koonunga and Ebenezer, both prized grape-growing areas within the Barossa Valley. The ancient soils in this region restrict vine growth, yielding a wine of unparalleled intensity and concentration.
Cellaring: Allow this wine to evolve gracefully in the cellar for up to 10 years, witnessing its transformation from dark fruit-packed youth to a softer, more complex and nuanced maturity.

NEW RELEASE VINTAGE 2021
When you’re looking for the archetypal Barossa Valley Shiraz, look no further than this broodingly intense red. The core of this magnificent wine comes from three Old Vine vineyards planted by the Atze family in 1912, 1951 and 1975. There two workers Eddies Staehr (Andy Kalleske's great uncle) and Eddies Liebig planted the oldest of these three vineyards in 1912.
Pristine and youthfully deep, it’s virtually impenetrable, with the ruby red colour showing the power and concentration that low yielding, seriously old vines provide. A gloriously aromatic bouquet led by sweet spices and backed up by damson plum, dark chocolate and the most subtle of toasty oak.
The rich, enveloping palate is lush and smooth with bright fruit; dark cherries and Christmas cake made all the more complex by the layers of spices: cloves, cinnamon and anise. As anticipated, the finish is uber-long with a savoury, umami note that leaves you wanting another sip.
Pairing: Grilled or roast beef with a pepper sauce, slow roast lamb
shank, barbequed or flame grilled red meats.
Alcohol: 15 %
Fermentation: 21 Day extended maceration time on skins, hand
plunged, secondary ferment in barrel.
Maturation: 30 Months in 50% new French Oak, 50% second fill
French oak barrels.
Cellaring: For a wine so young, and one with so much potential to
mature, Eddies Old Vine is drinking startlingly well right now. But
don’t be fooled; this wine will last and last for 25 years with a good
cellar and self-control!.
Old Vine Vineyards: Sourced from our 3 oldest vineyards on the

Forgotten Hero is sourced from a stunning vineyard planted by the Atze family in 1951; a survivor of the infamous vine pull scheme of the 1980s. John and Barb Kalleske rescued the old vineyard in 1983 and have nurtured its vines ever since.
Forgotten Heroes three decades ago, these low yielding vines now provide intensely flavoured grapes for this classic Barossa Shiraz. Intuitive, small-batch winemaking, a minimum 20 months maturation in new French oak barrels, coupled with it only being bottled from the most outstanding vintages, results in a truly distinguished, complex and full-bodied wine.
Due to the tiny size of this vineyard and the low yields, less than 70 cases are bottled in any one vintage.
A rare treat, not to be missed.
