"Barossa shiraz isabout generosity of character, ideally suited to foodslike char-grilled steaks. This well-made example has sweet blackberry, toasty oak and lifted floral aromas introducing a smooth, complete wine that finishes firm and dry. A crowd-pleaser" Cuisine Magazine, Issue #182, Australian Shiraz Tasting, June 2017

Full bodied, rich, classic Shiras with a rich and vibrant dark purple hue. The nose offers aromas of black forest fruits, chocolate, vanilla. Whilst on the palate you will find plum and berries, chocolate and a spicey finish.

The 2015 vintage was outstanding with wines ripening before sugar levels became excessive. The wines of 2015 show great intensity and suppleness. I think this is another amazing vintage of the Elderton Shiraz, following in the footsteps of many of the phenomenal wines made under this label in the last 30+ years.

The  fruit  for  Elderton  Shiraz  was  traditionally  sourced  from  the  Elderton  vineyard  situated  on  the  banks  of  the North  Para  River,  Nuriootpa,  Barossa  Valley,  South  Australia. Today,  this  wine  includes  fruit  from  the  three exceptional  estate  vineyards  that  the  Ashmead  family  own. Elderton  was transformed  from  a  vineyard supplying quality fruit to other wineries to a winery in its own right in 1982, and have since won much recognition for all of the wines, especially the Shiraz. Barossa Shiraz is now highly collectable worldwide, and the Elderton is always a benchmark for the region. There are many blocks of Shiraz on the three Elderton estate vineyards, some as old as 100 years. Some of the best parcels from each of these single sites (Nuriootpa, Greenock and Craneford) are blended to create what one can only describe as ‘the perfect Barossa Shiraz’. The grapes, which are lovingly tended to by Peter Wild and his team, are mainly harvested at an optimum maturity of about 14-15 Baume.
