Description

Yet another home run from the clever fellas at Sons of Eden. Lovers of big, bold Shiraz, look no further.

In Ancient Greek mythology, Zephyrus was the God of the west wind. The westerly wind is key to the warmer climate of the Barossa, allowing a cool change in the afternoons to extend the ripening period of the fruit.

Zephyrus is a blend of fruit from different vineyards across both the Barossa & Eden Valleys. The Sons say the blend of these fruits combine to enhance the structure and aromatics of the wine.

A class act South Australian Shiraz that always goes down extremely well, replete with all the richness and depth that the Barossa and Eden Valleys are known for.

"Brooding aromas of blackcurrants, mulberry bush, cassia bark and wild blackberries... blood plums, sarsaparilla, violets, graphite and pepper... generous, with a beautiful aromatic lift."

"Macerated doris plum, black cherry and blackberry... baking spices, licorice, dark chocolate, cedar... impressive depth and ferrous-edged tannin grip."

95 points - "Brooding aromas of blackcurrants, mulberry bush, cassia bark and wild blackberries. The palate is full-bodied with fine tannins, bright acidity and a generous mouthfeel, showing fresh notes of blood plums, sarsaparilla, violets, graphite and pepper. Very giving and generous, with a beautiful aromatic lift. Drink or hold. Screw cap." - JamesSuckling.com

95 points - "Deep crimson in the glass with aromas of macerated doris plum, black cherry and blackberry fruits, cut with hints of baking spices, licorice, dark chocolate, cedar, panforte, pan juices and earth. Weighty, with impressive depth and ferrous-edged tannin grip, fading with a crème-de-cassis-like intensity to the fruit." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

Great taste for the price

The Sons of Eden team have done it again. This shiraz has good structure and flavour. It is good drinking at a very affordable price.

Title fighter for best Shiraz under $35

This and ‘The Dirtman’ are a great pair to crack and argue who is the winner under $35

Deep crimson in colour displaying dark cherry, plum and red-spice aromas. The palate is equally attractive, with a rich concentrated and rounded mouthfeel, finishing with vibrancy and freshness. A modern style Barossa Shiraz which will mature beautifully for many years to come.

Fruit grown throughout the Barossa region, this wine is a blend of 10 unique vineyard sites. A combination of cooler climate Eden Valley Shiraz (53%) and warmer climate Barossa Valley Shiraz (47%) work in unison to create a well-balanced wine.

Sons of Eden

Sons of Eden offer some of the best value in the Barossa Valley today.

With the combination of Simon Cowham's viticultural experience and Corey Ryan's winemaking nous, they are one of the most formidable teams in the region.

The boys have successfully grown their brand with a suite of full-flavoured but well-proportioned Barossa and Eden Valley wines - predominantly reds - that have gained impressive critical acclaim.

With a suite of exceptional old-vine resources at their disposal, their wines are simultaneously approachable and cellar-worthy. These are red-blooded Barossa Valley and Eden Valley wines which over-deliver year in, year out.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
