In the press

96/100 - From a family-run micro-winery founded by sixth-generation Barossan vigneron Sam Kurtz and his wife Bernadette Kaeding, who also designs all the labels for their range. The Shiraz vines on their 5ha Ebenezer site were 20 years old in this moderately warm vintage; the fruit (some left as whole bunches) was handpicked and fermented with wild yeasts in open-top vats, basket pressed, then aged 15 months in seasoned French oak. Justin Knock MW: Intriguing aromatic complexity, savoury, elusive, peppercorn and cured meats, turmeric and sage. Silky and charming, beguiling. Tina Gellie: Gorgeous youthful purity on the nose, pretty and lifted, full of florals, berries and exotic smoky spices. Compelling, a lightly dancing and breezy Shiraz with good structure. Roger Jones: Clean and focused with a smoky element, blackcurrants, spice, restrained. A classy wine full of promise, ripe fruit still at the fore but a lovely complexity, too.

Tasting note

Rojomoma Red Art is made in a more restrained, nuanced, complex style than is typical for Barossa Valley Shiraz. It has all the satisfying palate-weight that the Barossa is known for, but it takes its time to get there, starting with subtly savoury spice and herb notes, before a gentle swell of dark fruit and velvety richness.

Viticulture

Hand-picked fruit from hand pruned vines located in the hamlet of Ebenezer in the northern Barossa Valley.

Vinification

Hand-picked fruit from individually-nurtured pruned vines located in the hamlet of Ebenezer in the northern Barossa Valley. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in open vats, before gentle basket-pressing and then maturation in seasoned French oak.

Food Match

Enjoy with steak or hearty, beef dishes. Grilled aubergine and vegetarian ratatouille also work well as well as gouda and parmesan cheese.
