The vineyard is owned by the Severin family and farmed by the Knight family in the Mount McKenzie sub region of Eden Valley, home to beautiful big gum trees and ancient, rocky granitic soils. The vineyard has long been a key resource for blending components of our Shiraz wines, adding that all important Eden Valley lift, spice, plush blue-fruit and mouthwatering acidity. WINEMAKING The fruit was fermented in single open top stainless-steel fermenters with twice daily pump overs for 8 days, before maturation for 15 months in finegrained French oak (25% in a new French Oak hogsheads, the balance in seasoned French hogsheads). 250 cases made.

The Wine Front
“The John Duval wines really are modern classics. This is the first release of Annexus shiraz. This comes from a single vineyard of Eden Valley shiraz that often finds its way into blending for the general shiraz wines from John Duval. It sees 25% new French oak. It’s got tension and precision written all over it. Heavily perfumed in forest berries, dark chocolate, alpine herbs and new leather/mahogany Chesterfield chair kinda thing. It’s succulent in texture, fine and firm in the palate and stretches luxuriously long. All of that perfume translates to flavours, a bit of extra cedar oak seasoning and a touch of sweet-earthiness too. It’s beautifully balance and all up classy.” Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, February 2023
