AGAPANTHUS: agáp(?) love + ánthos flower = LOVE FLOWER
Premium wines from Australia looking for distribution in the USA
Located 60 km northeast of Adelaide, South Australia. Barossa Valley proper rises 270 meters (886 ft.) above sea level. Its proximity to the Gulf of St. Vincent provides cool sea breezes, while a shift in wind can drive in warmer inland air, thus creating ideal temperatures. Water in the Barossa is sacred, leaving many of the vines to draw their roots deep below the earth's surface to find water. As a result many vines that live here are old and established, reflecting their many years of survival in the wines they produce.
Wine Spectator 90 points
"Ripe and rich, with density to the plum and cherry flavors, shaded with gingerbread and chocolate notes. The finish lingers. Drink now through 2020. 138 cases made."
MISSION
With a literal meaning of LOVE FLOWER, it came full circle when we decided to name our wine after such an ambitious flower. The Agapanthus flower is found thriving in the world's most prestigious wine regions. Its flowers act as a natural clock from Mother Nature, giving insight to when the grapes of that vintage may be harvested.
Our mission with our beloved Agapanthus Shiraz is to share the love from The Barossa Valley.
