James Halliday 95 Points — "A Great Contemporary Barossa Shiraz"

The 2020 Sons of Eden Romulus Barossa Valley Old Vine Shiraz is a deeply coloured, structured Barossa Shiraz from one of the valley's most highly regarded boutique producers.

My Wine Man on Sons of Eden

Sons of Eden is one of the Barossa Valley's most respected boutique wineries, founded by Corey Ryan and Simon Cowham. The Romulus is the estate's flagship old-vine Barossa Shiraz — sourced from some of the valley's oldest dry-grown vineyards.

Tasting Notes

Deep crimson with profound concentration. Dark plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, mocha, leather and a touch of clove. Full-bodied with ripe velvety tannins and a long, generous finish. 95 Points — James Halliday.

Style & Drinking Window

Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Drinking well now and through 2035. Decant 1 hour.

Food Pairing

A 95-point old-vine Barossa Shiraz deserves the finest beef. We love it with Australian Grass-Fed Cape Grim Rib-Eye Steak from My Meat Man — dry-aged and char-grilled medium-rare with bone-marrow butter, a magnificent match for Romulus's dark plum, mocha and velvety old-vine Barossa tannins.
