4/10/2024 - Cbanks wrote: NRSWIG - A blend of Ebenezer - from the Hoffman Dallwitz block vineyard that goes into Sami-Odi's wine - and the 158 year old vines of Asbroek's "Ancient" block (1864 vines), that has been historically tightly held by St. Hallett for decades as a core component of their Old Block Shiraz. Both outlined above. The label is an old alphabet chart from from the 1880s from a local school. Still settling into itself, this is a phenomenal blend of these two great, historical vineyards. |

4/10/2024 - Cbanks wrote: NRSWIG - The 2022 Flaxman Valley Syrah is sourced from three vineyards that are East facing, and cooler than many spots in Barossa, and wetter: his family's old-vine home block which is over 100 years old, a steep hillside vineyard on their neighbour's property around 500 metres above sea level and Chris Ringland's vineyard next door, that had been decimated by a serve hail storm but Callum was able to handpick what he could - some of south Australia's highest lying vines. |

1/4/2024 - Rote Kappelle Likes this wine: 94 pointsI will be very cautious about 2022 wines from pretty much anywhere in SE Oz but they may offer something interesting in commonly hotter areas like the Barossa. The vintage was basically cool, cloudy and damp. Cool in the Barossa is a relative term. |

11/18/2023 - Rote Kappelle Likes this wine: 93 pointsThe esteemed Mike Bennie (may the sun never set on his stiffy) wrote one of those reviews where one just felt compelled to try the wine. I was also attracted by the personal resonance of the Kalimna bitty of the Barossa and the promise of a cooler vintage offering some balance to the usual baked fruit Barossa bombast. 1 person found this helpful, do you?

11/4/2023 - theaccidentalcellar Likes this wine: 95 pointsHint of capsicum early, but given a decant and consumed across 4.5h. Green strawberries that tended towards blackberries as it opened. Peppery and savoury. Hint of charcuterie. Very light (11.6%), atypical and wonderful. |

8/2/2022 - mrwineface wrote: 92 pointsWell, this is going to be very good. It’s almost a purple hue now, lots going on. Red fruit, savoury notes, plenty of complexity and restrained power here, but subtle and not what I’d call a big Barossa Shiraz. Will go the distance. Lovely. |

12/22/2021 - LindsayM Likes this wine: 96 pointsThe Ebenezer Shiraz is sourced solely from Adrian Hoffmann’s vineyards in Ebenezer. The Hoffmann family have been farming their land in Ebenezer since the 1850’s and have accumulated the kind of knowledge only six generations of farming can produce. |

8/27/2021 - Alex Faugh Does not like this wine: 90 pointsSweet/sour nose, very gamey. When first opening, got an overwhelming sense of raisins flooding out of the glass. With air, touch of chocolate, camphor, bitter herbs. This wine has is better than the Flaxman due to the greater fruit intensity. Nice bitter quality to the tannins with good soft acids, finish is long of medium intensity. It still has a choppy, slightly unfinished character to it, but this one is worth holding for a few years to see what it settles into. |

8/16/2021 - Alex Faugh Does not like this wine: 88 pointsExpensive for what it is. Interesting nose: Smokey herbs and twigs. Light bodied, does have some complexity, and a fairly long, if not terribly rich finish, but it also comes across as being a touch unfinished and 'natural'. 1 person found this helpful, do you?

8/1/2021 - deverett wrote: 94 pointsSuch an unusual styling for a SA Shiraz, no blockbuster here. It is a wine built on texture, subtely and elegance, showing another expression of Eden Balley Shiraz. It is lithe and textural, has an energy and vibrancy that sets it apart from other versions. Definitely in the lighter spectrum, dark sour cherries, pepper and spice box, very subtle oak and lovely tannins. It would be easy to glug this down, such is its drinkability, but you would miss the intricacies and complexity of this beautiful wine. A terrific wine here, so different and despite its lack of blockbuster fruit, I think it will still cellar pretty well for a while. Well done Callum Powell. |
