Fabulous wine from long time friends Bernie and Sam Kurtz. I have spent many an hour in their garden shed (well its a great outdoor building really) having a few wines and beers over the years. The wines are true handcrafted gems ! Great to have this back in stock as it ran out in a matter of hours after the following review in Decanter was published.
"From a family-run micro-winery founded by sixth-generation Barossan vigneron Sam Kurtz and his wife Bernadette Kaeding, who also designs all the labels for their range. The Shiraz vines on their 5ha Ebenezer site were 20 years old in this moderately warm vintage; the fruit (some left as whole bunches) was handpicked and fermented with wild yeasts in open-top vats, basket pressed, then aged 15 months in seasoned French oak. Justin Knock MW: Intriguing aromatic complexity, savoury, elusive, peppercorn and cured meats, turmeric and sage. Silky and charming, beguiling. Tina Gellie: Gorgeous youthful purity on the nose, pretty and lifted, full of florals, berries and exotic smoky spices. Compelling, a lightly dancing and breezy Shiraz with good structure. Roger Jones: Clean and focused with a smoky element, blackcurrants, spice, restrained. A classy wine full of promise, ripe fruit still at the fore but a lovely complexity, too." 96 pts Decanter March 2023
