Atze’s Corner Eddies Old Vine Shiraz

Atze’s Corner Eddies Old Vine Shiraz 2023 is a commanding Barossa Valley Shiraz from Atze’s Corner, drawing its remarkable concentration from venerable family vineyards, including vines planted in 1912. It is a proper old-vine red: dark, lavish and built with the sort of depth that rewards a generous pour.

Expect an inky core of blackberry, damson plum and dark cherry, layered with Christmas cake, dark chocolate, vanilla, clove, cinnamon and anise. The Atze’s Corner Eddies Old Vine Shiraz is lush and enveloping across the palate, yet savoury umami notes and sturdy tannin give its rich fruit a confident, lingering shape.

Bring this full-bodied Barossa old vine Shiraz to slow-cooked beef ribs, chargrilled porterhouse, rosemary roast lamb or venison pie. A brief decant will let the sweet spice and dark fruit bloom beautifully. It is a sumptuous, cellar-worthy red for serious Shiraz fans and long lunches where only something bold will do.
