Barr-Eden Estate Love Over Gold Shiraz 2014

“Love is an emotion that can be felt for an eternity. Gold is just material.” Made with a deft touch, Love over Gold is a magical wine. Its core of fruit touches the palate, displaying great persistence. The tertiary aromas and minerality generate complexity and drive an extremely long finish. Love Over Gold’s debut release is the 2014 Shiraz, sourced from old vines, hand destemmed (except for the 10% whole clusters) and aged in a single two-year-old puncheon. Yes, quantities are that small (50 cases), so if this wine sounds like your jam, get after it. It’s restrained on the nose, with hints of pencil shavings and dried thyme framing raspberry and boysenberry fruit, then seems to expand on the medium-bodied palate, where it offers ample intensity without excess weight. Those fruit flavors are backed by supple, silky tannins and plenty of length and concentration on the finish, where the wine picks up savory overtones of black olive and espresso. – Joe Czerwinsky, The Wine Advocate, March 2019, 95 Points The Finer Details Style – Red Wine Varietal – Shiraz Country – Australia Region – Eden Valley, South Australia Vintage – 2014 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 14%
