From ancient Barossa vineyards, the Sons of Eden Romulus Old Vine Shiraz 2022 is a powerful and expressive red that showcases the depth and intensity only old vines can deliver. Crafted from low-yielding vines up to 70 years old, this wine offers concentrated fruit, layered complexity, and remarkable age-worthiness. A collector’s gem and a true expression of the Barossa.
Why You’ll Love It
The Romulus is all about richness, elegance, and longevity. Bursting with dark fruits, spice, and velvety tannins, it’s a wine that can be savoured now for its bold character or cellared for over a decade to reveal even greater complexity. A must-have for serious Shiraz lovers.
Collector’s Note
Produced in limited quantities from some of the Barossa’s most treasured old vineyards, the Romulus 2022 is a serious addition to any cellar. While drinking beautifully now, it will reward patience, developing further depth, spice, and savoury elegance over 10–15 years.
Tasting Notes

Food Pairing
Best enjoyed alongside slow-cooked beef short ribs, chargrilled steak, roast lamb with rosemary, or aged hard cheeses. Its power and structure make it an excellent companion to rich, hearty dishes.
