Eligo is John’s flagship Shiraz crafted from exceptional parcels of fruit off his finest, low yielding old vine Barossa and Eden Valley vineyards.

John strives to produce a Shiraz with restrained power, rich texture, and palate length. Dense purple in colour the aromatics are haunting, and the palate is saturated with black/blue fruits laced with nutmeg and spicy, savoury oak, earthy savouriness, smoked meat, and liquorice.

Almost as good as any Shiraz can be, it’s built for the 20-year+ haul in the cellar, but eminently approachable in its youth.

The deep dark fruits of the Barossa are elegantly harnessed by the fine French oak. A succulent palate, evolving to a creamy medley of dark berries and plum infused with liquorice, baking spices, chocolate, and subtle savoury/earthy tastes. The tannins are smooth and mouth-coating and have fine, juicy acidity the perfect buoyancy to platform the luscious flavours to their determined finish. At best 2026-2038 and likely to cellar longer in quality storage.
