John Duval is a legendary name, as only the third winemaker entrusted with managing the production of Australia
John has worked for Penfolds for 28 years (including 16 years as chief winemaker until his departure in 2002).
He set up on his own in 2003, sourcing fruit from some long time friends in the Barossa.
John was in Dublin Rhone blend)
His Entity 2006 stole the show for me hands down.The wine is aged in barrel for about 18 months. It is a wine with great complexity. On the palate it is powerful, rich, intensely flavoured with blackberrys, blueberries and a touch of spice. Its rich with tremendous flavour and balance, wonderful length
Powerful yet elegant is the only way i can describe it
Entity 06 won the international wine challenge Barossa red wine trophy in 08.
A classic Barossa that is well worth seeking our at 30 Euros a pop, its a real bargain considering the asking price for the current vintage of Grange is 250 Euro.
