Agricola Ebenezer Shiraz 2024 is a masterful expression of Barossa’s iconic Shiraz, crafted exclusively from the historic Hoffmann vineyards in Ebenezer. With vines dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these old vines impart remarkable depth and complexity, making this wine a standout in the region’s celebrated portfolio.
Under the expert guidance of Callum Powell, son of Torbreck founder Dave Powell, Agricola embraces a bold yet refined style. This Shiraz delivers a powerful, dense character balanced by a lighter, more elegant profile with moderate alcohol, showcasing a fresh and vibrant side of the Barossa Valley rarely seen in such intensity.
The wine opens with rich aromas of black fruits—blackberry, plum, and dark cherry—layered with subtle spice and earthy undertones characteristic of the Ebenezer terroir. On the palate, it reveals a fine acid line that adds brightness and energy, perfectly complementing the wine’s robust tannic structure. This balance creates a harmonious finish that is both persistent and inviting.
Key vineyard sources include the Hoffmann 1888-1912 Dallwitz Old and Hoffmann 1951 Dimchurch Home Old blocks, renowned for producing fruit of exceptional quality and intensity. These vineyards have supported numerous cult producers in the Barossa, underscoring the premium pedigree of this release.
With its classic regional boldness and modern elegance, the Agricola Ebenezer Shiraz 2024 is poised to become a cult favorite among enthusiasts seeking a powerful yet nuanced Barossa Shiraz. It perfectly encapsulates the rich heritage and innovative spirit of the region, making it an essential addition to any refined wine collection.
