Chaffey Bros are one of the top young producers in Australia at the moment, with their reputation growing every year. This wine is elegant, but also has wonderful fruit concentration, a wine which can be consumed straight away, but will of course benefit from a number of years aging. The wine is an elegant cooler climate expression of Shiraz distinct from its Barossa Valley, with its lifted perfume and delicate structure. Cool blue fruits are intertwined with silky tannins and subtle oak influence from 18 months maturation in fine grain French oak puncheons and hogshead barrels. Perfumed. Confident. Elegant.
“It’s an exciting time for Australian red wine, with the Syrah style signalling something different from Australia, which is being recognised both at home and now on a world stage. Momentum is building for the more elegant ‘Syrah’ style, with the reputation of Australian Shiraz benefiting. The intention of this wine was to highlight the lifted perfumes and blue fruits of Eden Valley Shiraz.” – Daniel Hartwig.
“Evangeline embraces the cool nature of the southern Eden Valley’s higher altitude and is crafted for elegance, poise and approachable structure on release. The fine tannins and brooding, dense nature of Eden Valley fruit unfurls further with several years in the cellar. We really enjoy this wine at around five to eight years of age.” – Halliday’s 2024 Cellaring Selections
