Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Kraehe Marananga Shiraz 2021
$750.00
An opulent, heady, smoky and mineral bouquet of cassis, blackberries, redcurrants and blueberries is lifted by notes of cracked pepper, roasted chestnuts and dark flowers, all supported by the most remarkable of charry, tight-knit oak. There are also suggestions of eastern spices and old Puer tea. It’s impossibly intense and generous, but simultaneously fine and restrained, delivering an elegant, effortless presence of handsomely oaked vivacious dark fruits backed by notes of smoke, minerals and briar, all wound around a fine-grained spine of artfully integrated drying tannins. Ready to enjoy any time over the next 40 years, it’s nothing short of a masterpiece.

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.
