Made by Elena Brooks, Nominee: Young Gun Winemaker of the Year 2010-2011
Barossa Valley, South Australia

Sister’s Run is serious fun. Our talented young winemaker Elena wears steel cap work boots every day of course, but carries a pair of high heels in the back of the ute, only for emergencies, like last minute invitations to accept trophies at gala wine show dinners and the like. Returning from a ‘knees-up’ at midnight, mid vintage, she managed to kick off one high heel and slip back into a boot’ just as the cellar crew cried out, ‘Run Sister Run’; and exactly then our winemaker and label took flight! The stiletto and boot are Sister’s Run; an independently owned and operated winery with a fierce commitment to making the best wines we can from family vineyards.

Elena Brooks
Nominated for ‘Young Gun Winemaker of the Year’
Young Guns of Wine Festival, 2010 and 2011
Sister's Run ‘Calvary Hill’ Shiraz
(2009 vintage)
"Bright ruby. Boysenberry and candied cherry on the nose, with a hint of spiciness adding lift. Broad and ripe, offering fleshy dark fruit flavors and a smooth texture. This appealing, open-knit wine finishes with very good punch and lingering sweetness (...)."
Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, July/August 2011
Sister's Run ‘Bethlehem Block’ Gomersal Cabernet Sauvignon
(2009 vintage)
"Glass staining ruby. Fresh blackberry and mulberry aromas are brightened by black pepper and violet. Tangy red and dark berry flavors display good depth and appealing sweetness, with a spicy quality lending urgency. Takes on a musky, faintly herbal quality with air and finishes with persistent sweetness and good length."
Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, July/August 2011
(2009 vintage)
"Classic cassis, liquorice and menthol notes but with a belt of ripeness with sour/sweet, tomato bush aromas. The palate is fleshy, blocky and pronounced, but there will be fans of this style."
Mike Bennie, WBM 100, Nov 2011
