2025 Agricola Ebenezer Shiraz

The most classically Barossa wine in the Agricola range. The Hoffman Dallwitz vines in Ebenezer date back to 1888, with some plantings through to 1912 and a smaller parcel from 1996. It's a vineyard with real heritage, and Callum works with it accordingly.

Where the Flaxman Valley wines are about restraint and elevation, Ebenezer is warm, generous and unambiguously Barossa. The difference here is that it's done without the props many have leaned on: no new oak dominating the fruit, no added acid sharpening the edges. Just old vine concentration and honest winemaking, which turns out to be all you need.

Rich, heady and full of character, with a depth and warmth that feels completely of its place. The 2025 dry season has concentrated the fruit and built real tannic structure beneath the generosity. This is a wine that rewards those who appreciate what the Barossa does when it's at its best.

"It delivers on a promise and leaves a groove in the palate, a thick, warm, grippy, slow moving freight train of fuck yeah Barossa shiraz."
