- TASTING NOTE: "Looking at these '24 releases from Callum Powell you can't help but think 'Jeez, the Barossa is in good hands.' The fruit purity is off the charts in these wines. The Flaxman Valley release represents a 'home' wine for Powell – it's in his hood. There's a wide brushstroke of dark plum and red fruits, etched with spice, moody amaro tones, some sage, cold tea, meadow flowers, hanging game meats and crushed rock. There's an elasticity to its palate shape with fine, powdery tannins shaped around the pure fruit in a kinetic fashion and the finest, laciest of acid lines bringing everything together. It's a hypnotically delicious wine and I found myself drawing needless comparisons ... 'yeah, it's kind of St. Joseph-y ... yeah, nah ... it's totally Agricola Vintner-y'. A stunner." 97 Points - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The Barossa is big on tradition, but what excites the most is the new generation of winemakers coming through the ranks, producing world-class wines with a deep respect for the subregions and history of Australia's most famous wine region. Callum Powell is one such winemaker. Son of ex-Torbreck svengali Dave Powell, he now crafts his own range of wines from a couple of sheds in Flaxman Valley. It’s a stunning range of wines from vineyard sites that will be familiar to those that love the Barossa – the Hoffman Dimchurch and Dallwitz blocks, Three Rivers and the 1864-planted Asbroek vineyard in Kalimna. The winemaking is thoughtful and deeply considered, the resulting wines stunning in their fruit purity and sense of place and Agricola Vintners can be underlined as one of the stars of the ‘New Barossa’.
