Elderton Estate Barossa Shiraz 2017 (Australia)
- American oak
- Black forest fruit
- Dark chocolate
- Vanilla & coconut
- Spice finish
"Barossa Shiraz served soft, ripe and well made. You get what you come for. Blackberried fruit flavour, coffeecream oak, whispers of earth and a sound, satisfying finish. It’s dark and bold but not gloopy or over-done. Reliable as ever" Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front, Oct 2019
Full bodied, rich, classic. A rich and vibrant dark purple colour in the glass. Black forest fruits, dark chocolate and vanilla with hints of coconut. Plum and berries, chocolate and a spice finish.
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 our Vineyard Manager Peter Wild and his team, are mainly harvested at an optimum maturity of about 14 - 15 Baume.
The 2017 vintage was characterised by steady ripening of fruit across the Barossa. From the vineyards winemakers were able to get great fresh flavours particular to each site, with some tight just-ripe tannins behind to balance the fruit. We love the freshness that 2017 brings, and the elegance in the wines as a result.
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.
