{"title":"Neldner Road","description":"\u003cp\u003eI have spent most of my career in the Barossa, in particular the warm and sunny Marananga of the Western Barossa Valley. However, I also learned early on to have great respect for the cooler, high hills of Flaxman's Valley in Eden Valley. I understand their differences but equal greatness of the two regions and want my wines to reflect that. Therefore, my production is derived from both regions. My most premium wines are two single-vineyard Shirazes – one from Flaxman's Valley in Eden and one from Marananga in the Barossa.\u003cbr data-w-id=\"23ab528b-9832-69e6-3092-b5a6a5b121df\" data-wf-id=\"[\"\u003e\u003cbr data-w-id=\"090c8fa3-b990-a28b-56e9-e324569a5730\" data-wf-id=\"[\"\u003eThe six vineyards I chose to represent our single vineyard series: two Shiraz vineyards from each the Barossa Valley and Eden Valley, one Grenache vineyard and one Mataro vineyard. Some of these vineyards are the same vines that I first brought back to life and have now been tending to for over two decades. Many now live well into their second century of age. I named our single-vineyard wines after the original settling family that had the foresight to plant those vines in the variety and soil that they did over one hundred years ago. For those people, I will be eternally grateful.\u003cbr data-w-id=\"e4019bd0-26f0-c204-4e8b-1610fdc9f47d\" data-wf-id=\"[\" e4019bd0-26f0-c204-4e8b-1610fdc9f47d\u003e\u003cbr data-w-id=\"9f43496d-5d0f-d62e-a6de-6be5837b635d\" data-wf-id=\"[\"\u003eI make five wines under our regional series, which showcase traditional styles of wines that have been made in the Barossa and stood the test of time: a Grenache Shiraz Mataro blend; a blend of Barossa and Eden Valley Shiraz, a Western Barossa Valley Shiraz and an Eden Valley Riesling.

I employ the old rod and spur method for our Shiraz and bush vine pruning for our Grenache and Mataro. I follow a minimalistic approach in the vineyard to ensure an honest expression of that vineyard site through to the bottle.
