Description

Pure Eden is a single site wine, made from an Eden Valley vineyard planted by Charles Angas in the 1890s.  Later owned by the Shiltons  1911  -1926;  Meakins 1926-1929; Roeslers 1929-1961;  Andretzkes  1961-2011  and  now  the  Lindner  family.  This  wine  is  a  reward  of  these guardians’ efforts for more than one hundred years.

The outstanding 2021 vintage is up there as one of my favourites. Sufficient winter rains revitalised the vines after two consecutive dry, frost-affected and low-yielding years.
Spring was near perfect for budburst, flowering and fruit set, enabling vines to flourish and reach their full potential.
Summer was gorgeous and mild with slow and even ripening, fantastic colour and flavour development, and acid retention. Finally, an unhurried harvest reduced pressure on fermenter space, cellar hands, and my sanity! As a result, we have captured the personality and quality of every vineyard.

Medium depth crimson with purple hues. An alluring bouquet of red and blue fruits leap from the glass with roasted, savoury notes and hints of black olive, cedar, earthiness and white pepper. A medium to full-bodied wine with juicy Satsuma plum and raspberry fruits with plenty of velvety tannins adding structure and texture to the wine. Sweet and briary spices balance the juicy fruit with a subtle cedar note carrying through the finish.
