Reviews and Ratings

Elderton 2016 is a lusty, full-bodied 100% Shiraz from the Ashmead Family Vineyards in the Barossa Valley. The Shiraz vines are between 15 to 100 years old. Love the smoky, textured blackberry, mint and fresh green herb flavours on the palate. Finishes smooth and long. Enjoy now and for the next five years. Pair this one with smoky ribs. - Community Wine Reviews
