AboutElderton

Elderton shot to world acclaim after producing some of Australia’s most highly regarded Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon wines. They are known for their leadership in environmental sustainability such as solar power, recycled water use and biodynamic farming as well as their certified organic practices.

Elderton 2010 Ashmead Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Australian Red
$99.99
Cassis and ripe blackberry lead, with dark chocolate, tea, toast and a subtle savoury note adding complexity. The palate is full-bodied and polished, balancing generous black fruit with crisp acidity and firm, grainy tannins. Refined and persistent through the finish, it is a strong match for roast beef, braised short ribs, hard cheeses or lentil dishes.
Elderton 2017 Ode to Lorraine
Australian Red
$79.99
Black cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant lead the aroma, followed by blackberry and violet. Across the palate, those red and dark fruit notes remain clearly defined, with black tea providing a drier counterpoint. The sequence moves from bright raspberry toward deeper cassis and blackberry. The finish keeps the tea and violet notes in view, leaving fruit and florals closely aligned.
