John Duval Entity Shiraz 2023

John Duval Entity Shiraz 2023 is a polished Barossa and Eden Valley blend that reflects decades of experience with Shiraz from some of South Australia’s most established vineyards. Sourced from old vines across sites including Krondorf, Marananga and Ebenezer, it balances regional richness with lifted aromatics.

The nose is expressive and dark fruited, showing blackberry, plum and boysenberry, layered with anise, clove and a touch of spice. There is a subtle Eden Valley lift that keeps it from feeling overly heavy.

On the palate, it is full bodied with concentrated dark fruit, supple yet structured tannins and notes of dark chocolate and earth. French oak is well integrated, adding shape without dominating the fruit.

A natural match for grilled red meats, slow cooked lamb or hearty winter dishes, this is a confident Barossa Shiraz built for both immediate enjoyment and long term cellaring.
