Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Barossa Valley Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2017
$50.00Jeremy’s score 95/100Impactful but artfully shaped and focused, this smooth, sumptuous blend unfolds a wild, spicy bouquet of cranberries, blueberries, blackberries and blood plums backed by cedar/vanilla oak and lifted by scents of spice and cracked pepper. It’s long and measured, moving evenly with mouthfilling generosity down a fine, slatey spine towards a finish of charming balance and refreshing acidity.

Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Barossa Valley Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2019
Jeremy’s score 92/100Fullish to medium in weight, this assertive, warmer season wine reveals a wild, meaty and faintly spicy bouquet of fiery redcurrant, cranberry, blood plum and blackberry fruit backed by suggestions of dark chocolates, minerals and a hint of funkiness. It’s powerfully flavoured, smooth and seamless, with a faintly raisined expression of fruit culminating in a soft finish and a lingering presence of blueberry and licorice.

Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Brennecke Grenache 2017
$275.00Jeremy’s score 95/100A tour de force grenache whose heady, floral bouquet of redcurrants, cranberries and blueberries is lifted by scents of violets and red rose petals, revealing notes of charry oak and roasting meats. Long, smooth and luscious, its juicy core of black, blue and red fruits moves evenly down a firmish, drying spine. It’s an emphatic, purposeful statement of variety and region.

Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Brennecke Grenache 2021
$275.00Jeremy’s score 96/100If Dave Powell has a signature for grenache, here it is. It’s a wild, heady, pungent and emphatic wine that needs either cellaring or significant breathing to deliver its best. Laced with dark flowers and musky spices, it’s steeped in dense aromas of dark plums, blueberries, licorice and bitumen, with star anise gradually appearing. Saturated with dense black, blue and red fruit that borders on bloodiness, it’s tarry and meaty with a hint of currant, driving forever towards a lingering and savoury finish of red licorice and dark cherries.

Neldner Road (Formerly Powell and Son) Kleinig Mataro 2017
$275.00Jeremy’s score 96/100Expressive, bloody and powerfully varietal, it unfolds an earthy, spicy bouquet of redcurrants, blood plums and smoky, cedary oak backed by ferrous and charcuterie-like notes plus a whiff of paprika. Medium to fullish in weight, it’s long and controlled, with a handsomely oaked and fiery core of redcurrants, red cherries and blood plums framed by firmish, drying tannins and finishing with a measured and savoury seamlessness.
