Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Steinert Flaxman’s Valley Shiraz 2021
$750.00
A superlative and very Australian shiraz which unfolds a heady, deeply floral perfume of cassis, redcurrants, musk and raspberries tightly knit with cedar/chocolate oak and lifted by scents of rose petals plus a hint of spearmint. Fullish in weight, it’s piercingly intense, long and elegant, with a translucently bright core of pristine small red fruits framed by a crunchy, gravelly spine and wrapped in a mouthwatering, perfectly focused acidity. Gentle, supple and willowy, it’s an essay in harmony and balance.

Winery
Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son)
Dave Powell, founder of Torbreck, has re-entered Australian wine, this time with his son, Callum at his side. Since 2014 the company has focused on high-quality sites across both the Eden Valley and Barossa Valley, retaining Dave Powell's dual focuses on Rhône Valley varieties as well as his well known intent to chase elegance, savoury finesse and structure. The new Powell & Son wines combine extraordinary depth of layered fruit, handsome oak and fine textures with the minerality and thoughtful composition associated with the finest wines of Dave Powell's previous existence. But Torbreck these wines are not – there's a distinctly different style here to what Torbreck became. I'm truly excited to get to know these compelling wines.
