Winery
E&E Black Pepper Shiraz is recognised as an iconic fine wine of Australia. Its pedigree is supported by Langton’s Classification of Australian wine and is the paramount form guide to Australia’s finest wines. Entry into the classification is based on a wine’s reputation and track record at auction. E&E Black Pepper Shiraz is sourced primarily from low-yielding vineyards. The authentic age-worthy E&E Black Pepper Shiraz epitomises the freshness, strength, generosity, richness and resilience of the Barossa aesthetic. These vineyards yield fruit of great power and finesse. The individually harvested parcels of fruit are fermented separately in small open top fermenters and then in a combination of new, one and two year old French oak barriques for 18 to 24 months. The wine is incredibly intense and concentrated with dark berry liquorice fruit, ripe tannins and mid-palate richness with underlying oak complexity, with all the structural attributes for medium to long term cellaring. If the quality isn’t exceptional, no vintage is released.

Varietal: Syrah

The Shiraz or Syrah grape varietal has seen a huge surge in popularity over the past few decades, partly due to the fact that more and more wineries around the world are beginning to plant and process this robust and flavorful grape for international audiences. This varietal has plenty going for it, and has the special ability of being able to clearly express positive features of its terroir in the bottle, alongside its characteristic flavors of dark berries, pepper and other spices. Shiraz/Syrah is also notably a highly versatile grape, and has been successfully used in several type of still red wine, as well as excellent sparkling and fortified wines. It is also regularly used as a blending grape, where it is prized for its ability to add a bold and strong, spicy punch to mellow, blended wines.

Region: Barossa

Australia's Barossa Valley has, over the past few decades, been catapulted to the forefront of Australia's wine industry as a result of the quality produce which is made there, and the dedication the winemakers of the region have for great flavor The original German settlers in the area may have set up the first traditional style vineyards, but today there are plenty of wineries exploring the possibilities of the region and utilizing modern technology to make the most of their vines. The region itself is surprisingly temperate, with hot valley floors and cooler slopes allowing the grape varietals to reach full ripeness. Although the region is most closely associated with Australia's much loved Shiraz grapes, there are now plenty of different varietals being cultivated in the Barossa Valley, and great success has been had with everything from Chardonnay to Semillon, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Country: Australia

With over sixteen thousand hectares of Australian land now under vine, Australia has become something of a world leader in regards to wine production. One of Australia's key attributes to their success has been their willingness to leave traditional vineyard practices to one side, and develop techniques which are perfectly suited to a New World country. Modern Australian wineries take into consideration the climate and the unique soil types which cover much of their country, and have had fantastic results from cross-breeding programs and blending practices which make the most of the grape varietals which thrive most successfully there, notably the Shiraz and Chardonnay grapes. In recent years, Australia has been lauded as the 'most influential' wine producing country in the world, and the rest of the New World is looking down under for inspiration, and the ability to produce comparable fine wines on their own terrain.
