2024 Agricola Vintners Ebenezer Shiraz

Power, polish, and pedigree — a world-class Barossa Shiraz of breathtaking depth

97 Points – Halliday Wine Companion | 95 Points – The Wine Front

Exceptional Barossa Valley Shiraz | Power Meets Precision

“A breathtaking single-vineyard Shiraz from the fabled soils of Ebenezer — where old-vine intensity meets modern winemaking finesse.”

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Deep inky crimson with a purple rim and brilliant viscosity — the hallmark of old-vine concentration.
Aroma: Explosive aromatics of blackberry, dark plum, cocoa, and licorice intertwined with crushed violets, cedar, and spice. Subtle graphite and mocha add layers of complexity.
Palate: Full-bodied yet beautifully balanced — dense black fruit floods the palate with notes of dark chocolate, anise, and savoury spice. Fine-grained tannins frame the richness, delivering remarkable texture and definition.
Finish: Long, powerful, and impeccably composed — a lingering echo of dark fruit, spice, and mineral finesse.

Vineyard & Winemaking

From the Ebenezer sub-region in northern Barossa, where ancient red-brown earth and ironstone over clay produce Shiraz of unmatched depth and character.
The Agricola team hand-harvests fruit from low-yielding old vines before small-batch fermentation and maturation in fine French oak (40% new) for 16 months.

Every decision is guided by balance — showcasing the power of Ebenezer with elegance and restraint.

Region

Ebenezer, Barossa Valley (SA) — one of the Barossa’s most prized sub-districts, renowned for opulent fruit, rich tannins, and remarkable ageing potential. The ironstone soils and elevated vineyards deliver a wine of both density and purity.
