Crafted in an elegant, perfumed style of Shiraz and heralding from the higher altitude Eden Valley region, the Argos Shiraz is a sophisticated single vineyard wine, our accolade to the Barossa’s most well-known varietal.
“The Odyssey”, written by Homer in 800 B.C., mentions the legend of Argos, a faithful greyhound waiting for his master Odysseus to return after 20 years fighting the Trojans. When he finally does return home, he disguises himself as a beggar and the only one to recognise him was his loyal greyhound Argos.

It is a superb regional expression showing Eden Valley’s renowned more savoury style and, in this case, the benefits of age. The colour remains deep and opens up with beef stock, soy sauce, blackberry, sage and spice aromas well supported by high quality oak. The palate is then quite muscular – acidity and ripe tannins supporting its rich layers of dark berry and black olive tapenade flavours. Earthy, mushroom complexity is also in the mix suggesting this wine is close to its peak, but no doubt has the balance to hold for at least another five years. - Angus Hughson, 94 points
