Description
John Duval "Eligo" is a 100% Shiraz 100%. Eligo represents the best of 2014 vintage and is sourced from some excellent Shiraz vineyards in the Barossa Valley and Eden Valley regions. 100% barrel matured for 20 months with 60% new fine grain French oak hogsheads (300 litre) and the balance 2 and 3 year old hogsheads.
The aim with Eligo is to produce a structured but elegant expression of Barossa Shiraz. A wine with restrained power, rich texture and palate length. Lifted black plum, blackberry and blueberry with hints of earth, anise and spicy, savoury oak. Long and intense with excellent fruit purity and freshness, finishing with a taut backbone and persistent fine tannin structure.
