Die Trauben für den Elderton Estate Shiraz stammen ausschließlich von den Rebstöcken des Elderton Vinyards, der an den Ufern des North Para Flusses (Nuriootpa, Barossa Valley) in Süd-Australien liegt. Die auf Kalkstein liegenden sehr alten und tiefen Schwemmböden bilden zusammen mit mediterranem Klima und minimaler Bewässerung das, was man nur noch „den perfekten Shiraz-Vinyard“ nennen kann.
Our Barossa Shiraz comes from many parcels across our three vineyard sites. These vineyards ripen differently owing to their different aspects, elevation and soil types. Our Greenock vineyard is on the western end of the Barossa, first to ripen for us and always brings a vibrant bouquet and punchy tannin to our blend. Our Nuriootpa plantings bring a depth of tannin and a lovely sweet spiced fruit element and our Craneford vineyard is a more elevated site on leaner soils ripening later in the season.

Winemakers comments: Post fermentation the parcels were put to a combination of new and used French and American oak for malolactic fermentation and maturation before blending. Made from our three vineyards, this is truly an expression of Barossa, from one side to the other! We love the way these three vineyard sites work together to create a wine with structure, fruit and freshness. - Jules Ashmead & Brock Harrison

Vintage notes: 2021 signalled a welcome return to a more ‘normal’ season, with decent winter rains and only a very mild frost in the spring of 2020. A mild summer without heat spikes allowed for excellent ripening conditions leading into harvest. The apparent lack of rain meant keeping a close eye on vine health to ensure water requirements were met. The return to decent yields afforded the opportunity to use heading boards and a little barrel ferment to add complexity to this wine.
