John Duval
John Duval has stamped his identity onto a generously flavoured and handsomely oaked expression of Barossa wine, whose philosophy is entirely consistent across all four labels. There has even been a noticeable fining of the style from 2010 onwards, especially in 2012 but equally evident in 2013. Duval's wines are all gaining in stature over time, and the current releases are outstanding. The Eligo is more concentrated and receives a higher proportion of brand new oak, while the Entity strikes perhaps a finer balance in most seasons. The Plexus red blend is consistently smooth, juicy and charming, while the ever-improving white Plexus blend is adding a dimension to Barossa white wine.
