2022 John Duval Eligo Shiraz 750ml

Awards, Ratings & Reviews

95/100 - Halliday Wine Companion
2022 Vintage. Published: 01 June 2026.

“The Eligo represents the best of the '22 for the team at John Duval Wines; a split of shiraz from Barossa Valley (79%) and Eden Valley (21%), aged for 18 months in French oak hogsheads, 44% new. It's a rich, deeply fruited wine yet one that has a seam of freshness to its travel. Tones of satsuma plum, blackberry and black cherry fruits with hints of baking spices, blackforest cake, sage, licorice, dark chocolate, cedar, olive tapenade, roast and hanging meats and earth. Full bodied with a thick base of black fruits, a cascade of fine-grained tannin and a bright black cherry-skin acidity on the exit.”

95/100 - Huon Hooke
2022 Vintage. Tasted: 17 Dec 2025. Drink Window: 2026-2042.

“Opaque purple colour, dense and saturated. The nose has spicy/woodsy and dried-herb notes, notable oak, and blackberry/fruitcake touches. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, densely textured and powerfully structured, a very concentrated and superripe shiraz which will need time to tame. It's certainly very impressive. One for a dark corner of the cellar.”
