Eperosa Krondorf Shiraz 2021
The Wine
The second of our estate vineyards, the Krondorf vineyard is located in the Krondorf sub region of the Barossa Valley. The vineyard is situated at the foothills of Kaiser Stuhl and High Eden and is strongly influenced by the local gully winds which rapidly cool the landscape and keep disease at bay. Another dominant feature of the site is the 'Terra Rossa' like soil consisting of sandy loam over heavy red clay with calcareous material at depth. The ability of the soil to store large amounts of moisture and hold it tightly in it's matrix allows the vines to produce powerfully fruited and complex wines. The vineyard consists of Grenache planted in 1903 and 1999 and in 2014 the remaining land was planted to five exceptional clones of Shiraz and two patches of bush vine Mataro (selection massale).

About the Wine Maker 
Brett Grocke - EPEROSA : I'm a 6th generation Barossan living here with my beautiful partner Megan, son Arthur and winery dog Frankie.
In the 1840's my forefathers planted vineyards and started making wine adjacent Jacob's Creek in the sub region of Krondorf, Barossa Valley. Our family has owned and farmed vineyards here in every generation since.
The vineyards we now farm are not our original family vineyards but ones we acquired in 2013. With these vines I look forward to adding another chapter to our Barossa grape and wine story.
