Sons of Eden ROMULUS Old Vine Shiraz 2019

A story that has intrigued us for years is the fable of the legendary founders of Ancient Rome, Romulus and Remus.  These twins were abandoned at birth and reared by a she-wolf.  Romulus murdered his twin in a fit of rage over the naming of Rome, the city which both had built.  Legend presents Romulus as the stronger, more powerful of the brothers, while Remus was more refined, focussed and elegant.  We believe the twins'characterise the distinctive and unique flavours and attributes of Shiraz from the twin valleys - the Barossa Valley and Eden Valley. Deep crimson in colour with a complex aroma of dense cherry and red berry fruits together with nuances of dried herb and vanilla bean.  A powerful and fleshy palate of plums, red berries and spice are balanced with persistent silky tannins.
