Here are tasting notes for the 2024 vintage of Barr‑Eden Estate Dreams of Gold Shiraz — a stylish Eden Valley Shiraz from South Australia:
🍷 Appearance
• Deep crimson to dark red-purple colour — rich and intense in the glass.
👃 Aromas / Nose
• Vibrant red fruit aromatics, with bright cherry and raspberry at the forefront.
• Minty, eucalypt and wintergreen notes add an intriguing aromatic lift.
• Underlying hints of licorice and tar give savoury complexity.
👄 Palate / Flavour
• The palate mirrors the nose with fresh red fruit flavours (cherry, raspberry), carrying through elegantly.
• Soft, supple tannins provide a smooth and approachable texture.
• Minty herbal notes and gentle eucalypt lift persist into the mid-palate.
• Licorice and subtle spicy undertones add depth without overwhelming the fruit.
🍷 Finish & Style
• Balanced and elegant with good length, showing vibrant fruit and refined structure.
• Soft tannins and lingering spice make it both seductive and graceful — a great example of a cool-climate Eden Valley Shiraz.
🍽️ Food Pairing Suggestions
Pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, roast beef, hearty stews or charcuterie, as well as dishes with herb-driven sauces that complement the wine’s spice and fruit profile.
