About john duval vineyard selection
John Duval's Vineyard Selection is a masterclass in Barossa Valley Shiraz craftsmanship, drawing on old vine fruit from some of the region's most distinguished sites. On the nose, it opens with an opulent cascade of dark plum, blackberry compote, and cracked black pepper, underpinned by a seductive thread of violets and smoked meat. The palate is commanding yet refined, delivering waves of dark cherry, licorice, and mocha, with beautifully integrated French oak lending a silky, chocolatey depth. The tannins are plush and finely grained, a hallmark of John Duval's meticulous winemaking philosophy, offering structure without austerity. The wine carries a sense of place with an earthy, iron-rich minerality that anchors the ripe fruit and keeps the experience grounded and complex.
