Sons Of Eden Marschall Shiraz 2023 is a tribute to the legendary Barossa Valley vignerons who pioneered the planting of the old treasured vineyards the Barossa enjoys today — named for David Marschall, a man of many talents who, in conjunction with growing exceptional fruit, was a revered martial artist, actor, and demolition expert. His legacy lives on through his vineyards in the Tanunda and Ebenezer districts, which make up the backbone of this wine. Awarded 93 points by Dave Brookes in Halliday Wine Companion, with a drinking window of 2025 to 2038.
Appearance
Deep crimson with the vibrant, rich colour of a Barossa Valley Shiraz from the Tanunda and Ebenezer districts — the depth and intensity that 14 months in oak hogsheads and bottling without filtration deliver.
Aroma
Vibrant aromas of macerated satsuma plum, dark cherry, and blackberry fruits — with hints of ginger spice, clove, dark chocolate, tapenade, roasting meats, and earth. The complex, layered aromatic profile of two distinct Barossa districts working in harmony: the aromatic sandy soils of Tanunda and the dense, iron-clad soils of Ebenezer.
Palate
Deep, purely fruited, with fine toothsome tannins and a long, black-fruited draw on the finish — intense and juicy dark red berry flavours with velvety tannins and the structure that extended skin contact of 15 to 20 days and 14 months in oak hogsheads produce. You get a lot of Barossan Shiraz goodness for your money here. Drink 2025–2038.
Pairs With
Slow-braised beef short rib, char-grilled lamb cutlets, aged hard cheeses, or a hearty Barossa-style spread — the fine tannins, deep fruit, and savoury complexity make this a natural and deeply satisfying partner for the finest food at the table.
Reviews
“Shiraz sourced from the Marschall Family vineyard in the Tanunda and Ebenezer subregions of the Barossa Valley. Deep crimson with vibrant aromas of macerated satsuma plum, dark cherry and blackberry fruits with hints of ginger spice, clove, dark chocolate, tapenade, roasting meats and earth. You get a lot of Barossan shiraz goodness for your money here, deep, purely fruited, fine, toothsome tannins and a long, black-fruited draw on the finish.”
