Barossa Valley Estate...

The Valley Growers Cooperative was formed in 1985 by enterprising Barossa Valley vignerons to sell and market wines under the Barossa Valley Estate label to alleviate some of the pressures they were facing in selling their fruit.

Since its inception and with the assistance of a strategic alliance with the BRL Hardy Wine Company, the cooperative has grown and prospered, developing a reputation for excellence both domestically and abroad.

E&E Black Pepper Sparkling Shiraz 2001

Size

1 x 75cl

Price

£50.00

Background Information: Each year, from a selection of more than 60 growers that make up the Co-operative, B.V.E carefully hand picks only the finest Shiraz grapes for the renowned E&E Black Pepper Shiraz.

The succulent fruit is predominantly chosen from the most mature, dry grown Shiraz vines from the Northerly aspect of the valley. These vines, cultivated only using the utmost of care, are low cropping, producing small berries providing intensely concentrated flavours and unique character.

Tasting Notes: Deep crimson red in appearance, with a slight hue of age and a fine bead of bubble. Aromas of lifted cherry, chocolate, plum and spice are present, with subtle background oak support.

The palate is rich and full, with a vibrant mouth feel and great length of fruit and oak. A soft finish rounds off this superb example of a well balanced sparkling shiraz. With careful cellaring this wine will improve for up to 5 years after release.
