TASTING NOTES

Powell & Son 'Steinert' Flaxman's Valley Shiraz 2014 captures the essence of Eden Valley's renowned terroir with elegance and depth. This premium Shiraz showcases a harmonious balance of rich fruit flavors and refined structure, embodying the unique character of one of Australia's most celebrated wine regions.

Harvested from Flaxman's Valley, the 2014 vintage reflects a year marked by ideal growing conditions—warm days and cool nights—that enhanced the grape's natural intensity and complexity. The result is a wine with vibrant dark berry aromas, complemented by subtle hints of spice and earthy undertones, delivering a full-bodied palate with velvety tannins and a lingering finish.

The Eden Valley is distinguished by its high elevation and cool climate, which contribute to the wine's bright acidity and elegant profile. Powell & Son’s meticulous winemaking techniques preserve the purity of fruit while allowing the distinctive regional characteristics to shine through, making the Steinert Shiraz a standout expression of this prestigious area.

Key Features:

  • Classic Eden Valley Shiraz with rich, concentrated flavors
  • 2014 vintage known for balanced ripeness and vibrant acidity
  • Full-bodied with smooth tannins and complex spice notes

This Shiraz pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as grilled lamb, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses, making it a versatile choice for sophisticated dining occasions. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for further development, the Powell & Son 'Steinert' Flaxman's Valley Shiraz 2014 is a refined expression of Australian premium wine craftsmanship.

This single Steinert vineyard wine along with the upcoming (from 2015) yet to be named single vineyard wine from Marananga (Barossa Valley) are the Powell & Son flagships. Coming from a single vineyard of 120+ year old vines in Barossa’s cooler Eden Valley, the 2014 Steinert Vineyard Shiraz is a very pretty wine possessing a deep garnet-purple color and lifted nose of kirsch, crushed red currants and black raspberries with suggestions of wild thyme, lavender, black pepper and cloves. Medium to full-bodied, it has a firm backbone of grainy tannins supporting elegant yet intensely flavored fruit with great harmony and freshness to the very long finish. Note that while I didn’t produce a note for it, a barrel tasting of the 2015 vintage of this vineyard and the single vineyard wine from Marananga revealed two very profound 2015 wines in the pipeline.

The wine groans with its heft, dark, foreboding, meaty, gravelly wine, but there’s still a lift and undercurrent of pure fruit, despite the work of spicy wood and chomp of tannin. It feels like an echo chamber in the palate; thick ricochets of dark fruit and meatiness bobbing through the mouth, then firmed up with cedary-oak spice, and chewy dark chocolate-coffee powder tannins. Flickers of garrigue and bouquet garni appear, and they’re seen in the dense bouquet too. To inhale, the wine is full of dark fruit, figs, dates, warm earth, char and herbal spice. It’s a palate staining mouthful, but finds a rise. It’s foreboding, but draws you in. Pretty epic.
