Neldner Road Barossa Valley Shiraz is crafted with a clear and compelling intention — to benchmark Western Barossa Shiraz at its finest whilst remaining at a very accessible price point. Sourced from mature Barossa Valley vineyards of 30 years and older, with the majority located along the region’s North-Western ridge in Marananga and Seppeltsfield, this is a wine of genuine provenance and character. Grape parcels are vinified separately in concrete vats, basket pressed, and assembled into large format 4,500 litre French oak foudres for 18 months maturation — a winemaking approach that prioritises fruit purity and textural finesse above all else.

Appearance

Deep, inky purple with excellent concentration — a hallmark of mature Barossa vine fruit.

Aroma

Abundant aromas of dark plum and blackberry lead the bouquet, layered with nuances of tar, graphite, and delicate dried herbs and tobacco. Complex, earthy, and unmistakably Western Barossa in character.

Palate

Velvety in texture with intense dark fruit flavours and well-integrated tannins. Subtle notes of coffee and cedar add richness and depth, whilst the finish is powerful and lingering — dark fruit persisting alongside a compelling hint of white pepper spice.

Pairs With

Slow-braised beef short ribs, roasted lamb, aged hard cheeses, and charcuterie. A wine that punches well above its price point at the table.
