Neldner Road Herrmann Kalimna Shiraz

A rich and deeply expressive Northern Barossa Shiraz, opening with intense aromas of blueberry and blackberry jam alongside vanilla musk and savoury olive tapenade. Hints of cured charcuterie, graphite and tar add further complexity, giving the wine a brooding and unmistakably Barossa character.

The palate is soft, sensual and beautifully mouth-coating, with concentrated dark fruits carried by sleek, supple tannins. Wines from this part of the Barossa are sometimes described as “neck oil” for their luxurious texture and deep, lingering fruit, and this is a perfect example. Rich, deep and opulent, the Herrmann Shiraz captures the power and generosity of true Northern Barossa Shiraz while retaining an effortless sense of balance.

The story behind Neldner Road

Neldner Road is the latest chapter from Dave Powell, the legendary Barossa winemaker behind Torbreck and, more recently, Powell & Son. Based in the Barossa, Dave has spent more than four decades working with some of the region’s most exceptional old vineyards, and Neldner Road brings that experience together with a renewed focus on vineyard character, freshness and beautifully balanced wines.

The wines draw on old-vine fruit from the Barossa and Eden Valleys, with traditional winemaking techniques and a hands-off approach allowing each site to speak for itself. The result is classic Barossa wines with plenty of depth and character, but also freshness, finesse and a real sense of place — a new chapter from one of the region’s most respected winemakers.
