$428.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Sourced from the Battely vineyard in Beechworth planted on a boney ridge of hill to very poor soils composed of a red sandy loam with slate and ironstone fragments present. This wine is the second release from this vineyard since we took over management in 2017 and started a process of regenerating the vines that were in very poor health at the time.

The vineyard is unique in that it comprises of four different Shiraz clones, PT23, PT10, ESA3012 & the Bests clone. In 2019 there was enough fruit to ferment each clone separately, a fascinating exercise. In the end components from each of these ferments made it into the final blend. All ferments were gently hand plunged once daily throughout fermentation and basket pressed to new and seasoned French oak puncheons and left to rest on gross lees for 16 months. Bottled June 2020, Unfined, Vegan Friendly.

About Eldorado Road

Eldorado Road was established in 2010 and specializes in red varieties, growing Durif and Nero d’Avola at our Eldorado Road vineyard taking full advantage of Eldorado’s magnificent soils and terrior.

Eldorado is located in the Beechworth foothills equidistant between Beechworth & Wangaratta. The tiny home vineyards are located on Eldorado Road a few kms from the quaint hamlet of Eldorado. The property was selected & purchased principally because it’s located on a seam of free draining red decomposed granite loaded with granite buckshot, flanked by granite hills & fed by the gentle flowing Reedy Creek which weaves its way through the property on its journey to the Ovens River.

We also lease a local Shiraz vineyard planted way back in 1890s and still farmed without irrigation producing small quantities of amazing fruit. This particular vineyard and wine truly reflects a unique piece of Australian winemaking heritage.

Paul Dahlenburg (Bear) & Lauretta Schulz (Laurie) spent a career making wine & tending to the vineyards of others, although in 2010 Eldorado Road was born & they had their own label.

“Shout it from the rooftops – Eldorado Road, as a label, should be much more famous. The wines are too interesting, too keen, too complex to be ‘just another Victorian producer’. Andrew Graham, Australian Wine Review.
