Vintage 2024
94 points Halliday
Brave Souls is the creation of young winemaker Julia Weirich, in collaboration with Simon Cowham and Corey Ryan of Sons of Eden. German in heritage but gypsy at heart, she has worked all over the world, honing her skills in wineries including Bass Phillip in Australia, Yealands in New Zealand, Le Grappin in Burgundy and Mulderbosch in South Africa. Upon her return to Australia, Julia set upon a plan to make wine for herself. Having known her for some time, Simon & Corey, the well-known dynamic team behind Sons of Eden, stepped in to help Julia realise this great adventure in the Barossa Valley.
The name, Brave Souls, is inspired by the story of the famous Admella shipwreck of 1859 and spotlights the remarkable accounts of those characters who risked their lives to help the survivors. Iconic Australian artist Bruce Goold generously agreed to visualise the tales of these Brave Souls for the project’s labels.
Sourced from two different regions within the Barossa, this wine is a blend of Barossa Valley 65% and Eden Valley 35%. The blend of unique Barossa vineyards provides a complex array of flavours with the Barossa Valley component providing fleshy dark berry fruit characters and density, while the Eden Valley component contributes elegance and bright red fruited aromatic lift.
"A blend of shiraz from the 65/35% Barossa/Eden Valleys, matured in old seasoned oak for 14 months before bottling. Bright red purple in the glass, with aromas of juicy satsuma plum and summer berry fruits. Hints of Asian spice, Barossa earth, licorice and dark chocolate abound with a violet flick. Great depth, with some fig coming in on the palate, sandy tannin and plush fruit". - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
