With the new labeling and improvements to wine styling and focus, they have created one of the best bargain wines in the Barossa. Share a bottle with your friends this weekend!


Tasting Note: A beautifully defined wine with black currant and blood plum fruit flavours, with an elegantly polished texture. Finishes with ripe fruit, mocha, vanilla-bean toasted oak & fine grained, powdery tannins. A high-quality, elegant Cabernet from up in the Eden Valley ranges of the Barossa.

Enjoy With: Hearty red meats.

Dry / Sweet: Dry, red wine.

Terroir / Region: The Barossa Region has a typical Mediterranian climate with dry summers and mild winters. It is Australia's most famous wine region. Comprised of the Barossa Valley and Eden Valley, it is home to some of the oldest Shiraz vineyards in the world, acclaimed Rieslings and iconic wine brands. The Barossa is a gourmet lover's paradise enriched in a strong cultural heritage reflected in its wine, food, buildings and people.

Producer: Elderton Wines is a small, family owned and operated winery, situated in the heart of the Barossa Valley. The Elderton vineyard which was planted in 1904 by Samuel Elderton Tolley, was purchased by the Ashmead family in the late 1970's and started producing labelled bottled estate wine from the 1982 harvest.
