Elderton Barossa Shiraz

Description

Rich and fruity nose of baked cherries, spiced plums, cinnamon and hot chocolate. Full-bodied with soft tannins and a spicy, tasty finish.

The fruit for Elderton Shiraz is sourced mainly from the Elderton Vineyard situated on the banks of the North Para River, Nuriootpa, Barossa Valley, South Australia.

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 twelve vineyard blocks including some that are 100 years old.

This is a classic example of the Elderton style. Ripe, voluptuous blackberry fruit is framed by a robust structure, vanillin oak and gentle tannins.
