John Duval Eligo Shiraz 2021

John Duval Eligo Shiraz 2021 is a distinguished Barossa Shiraz that speaks to pedigree, restraint, and depth. Crafted by one of the region’s most respected winemakers, this wine reflects a careful, old-vine expression of Barossa fruit, combining richness and power with polish, savoury complexity, and remarkable composure.

Appearance:

Deep crimson to garnet with an inky core, vivid and dense in the glass.

Aroma:

Intense and layered, with aromas of blackberry, black plum, and dark cherry unfolding into notes of liquorice, violet, dark chocolate, and sweet spice. Hints of cedar, earth, olive tapenade, and fine oak add sophistication and depth.

Taste:

Full-bodied and concentrated, showing rich flavours of black fruits, mulberry, and plum supported by notes of cocoa, clove, anise, and smoky oak. The palate is generous yet controlled, with velvety tannins, balanced acidity, and a savoury mineral edge that gives the wine structure and precision.

Finish:

Long, powerful, and polished, with lingering dark fruit, spice, mocha, and fine-grained tannin.

Food Pairing:

An excellent match for grilled ribeye, slow-braised beef, lamb shoulder, venison, barbecued short ribs, or aged hard cheeses. It also pairs beautifully with roasted mushrooms and richly flavoured winter dishes.
