BACKGROUND: The development and naming of this wine is in many ways symbolic of the evolution of John Duval Wines as we bring together two generations of the Duval family with Tim Duval joining his father John ahead of the 2016 vintage. Concilio was jointly conceived by John and Tim and represents a modern expression of Barossa, wines of vibrancy, texture and savouriness.
VINTAGE: With better winter rains, and a perfectly timed 30mm event at the start of February, we were rewarded with better crops and berry size after a few drought-affected lean years. Conditions through late February, March and April could only be described as perfect with mild to warm days with no heat spikes, combined with cool nights. This meant for a long even ripening period and a lovely pace to the vintage. 2021 will be remembered as an exceptional Barossa vintage. Shiraz for Concilio was harvested on the 11th and 19th of March.
VINEYARDS: This inaugural release of Concilio Shiraz was sourced from two meticulously grown Shiraz vineyards from two of the Barossa’s most celebrated sub-regions in Marananga and Ebenezer.
WINEMAKING: The Shiraz was harvested from the Marananga Vineyard on the 11th of March and from the Ebenezer vineyard on the 19th of March. It spent 8 days on skins with twice daily pump overs. Both Shiraz components were matured in seasoned French hogsheads for 12 months.
WINEMAKERS NOTES
NOSE: Vibrant, bright mulberry, red and black fruits with hints of savoury spice.
PALATE: A bright and juicy wine of concentrated black and red fruit that lingers across the length of the palate, finishing with fine subtle tannin to provide line and length. Supple, yet not lacking in fruit power.
