Neldner Road Barossa & Eden Valleys Shiraz 2021
From the acclaimed Neldner Road by Dave Powell in South Australia, the Barossa & Eden Valleys Shiraz 2021 is a refined red blending the power of Barossa and elegance of Eden Valley. Crafted from 100% Shiraz, sourced from 40+-year-old Eden Valley vines and 60+-year-old Barossa vines, it’s fermented in concrete vats and aged 15 months in 4,500-liter French oak foudres. This wine offers a deep ruby hue and vibrant complexity.
Winemaking Process
Powell’s minimalist approach defines this wine. The 2021 vintage undergoes separate fermentation in concrete vats for Barossa and Eden Valley fruit, with a 10–12-day maceration. Aging in large French oak foudres for 15 months softens tannins while preserving fruit intensity, creating a structured yet approachable Shiraz with long aging potential.
Tasting Notes
A powerful, elegant red with rich dark fruit and spicy complexity, showcasing Barossa and Eden Valley harmony.
The nose reveals blackberry, kirsch, and white pepper, with hints of lavender, sage, and charred meats. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and plush, with dense blackberry, plum, and black olive, supported by fine tannins and a long, spicy finish.
Awards and Accolades
While specific 2021 reviews are limited, Neldner Road’s Shiraz earns consistent praise. The 2019 vintage scored 92 points from James Suckling for its polished tannins and blackberry notes, and Wine Advocate lauded its dense, brooding character.

Food Pairings
