The Loechel Eden Valley Shiraz originates from a singular vineyard located at the southern edge of the Eden Valley township. Planted fifty years ago by the Loechel family in granitic loam at an elevation of 400 meters, the vineyard occupies a steep east-facing slope with excellent drainage and low yields, contributing to the production of concentrated fruit and nuanced, complex wines. During harvesting, the vineyard is divided into three distinct components, which are maintained separately throughout the vinification process. One-third of the vineyard's fruit is reserved for crafting the Loechel Shiraz, a determination made during blending before bottling.
