The fruit for Elderton Shiraz is grown exclusively on the lderton 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.

- This is totally voluptuous - dense fruit - almost brooding and a palate that goes on forever. What power, complexity underpinned with enveloping but not too pronounced tannins. An absolute classic.

- Number 27 on Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2004! Big and powerful, brimming with tarry, spicy black cherry, dark plum, blackberry and chocolate flavors. Rich and gooey like a warm flourless chocolate cake, yet it finds a plush balance that keeps it from veering off into heaviness. This has grace, harmony and refinement, without losing an ounce of power. Drink now through 2025. - Wine Spectator
