2022 Sons of Eden Kennedy Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre

Named as a tribute to the legendary Barossa Vignerons who pioneered the planting of the old treasured vineyards, the Grenache fruit is the ‘soul’ of this blend and is predominately sourced from an exceptionally low yielding 60+ year-old Light Pass Vineyard. It was originally planted by the Kennedy Family, with ownership eventually being passed onto the charismatic Leo ‘Joe’ KENNEDY who nurtured the vines for many years, selling his prized fruit to local winemakers.
A blend of 56% Grenache, 25% Shiraz and 19% Mourvedre sourced from a wide variety of Barossa’s sub districts with the vines aged between 30 to 90 years old. Maturation took place in a mixture of seasoned oak hogsheads and puncheons for a period 12 months.
Deep black dark red colour with a dark red black tinged hue. Lifted black raspberry, liquorice and dark plum scents mix with hints of black cherry, scorched earth and peppered dried herb notes. Rich black raspberry, liquorice and black cherry fruits carry ample weight and flesh across the medium to full bodied palate. Notions of dried herbs, scorched earth and pepper lie underneath. Excellent intensity and depth with a structured yet polished tannin framework. Concludes long and succulent yet sturdy.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
