Nine Stones began as a
collaboration be¬tween Denis Power and Len Evans, the well-known
wine educator and raconteur. Since Len’s death in 2006, Denis has
continued the work of the Evans Wine Company. Both Len Evans and
Denis Power are of Celtic origin and the name Nine Stones derives
from the ancient Celtic custom of creating circular patterns of
standing stones. Groups of nine standing stones still remain in
parts of Scotland and Ireland.
The initial release wines were three
wines of the Shiraz variety, chosen to display the characteristics
of the region from which they emanate. Each is a powerful,
fully-ripened example of the variety.
