🍷 Appearance

Deep crimson with vibrant purple hues, showing excellent colour concentration typical of premium Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon.

👃 Aromas (Nose)

Complex aromas of cassis, blackberry and black cherry, layered with dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, cedar and subtle spice. Hints of violets and graphite add depth and elegance.

👅 Palate

Rich and structured with flavours of blackcurrant, blackberry and plum, intertwined with dark chocolate, baking spices and savoury notes such as dried sage. The fruit intensity is powerful yet refined.

⚖️ Structure & Balance

Full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Matured for around 18 months in new and seasoned French oak, giving the wine structure, polish and depth.

✨ Finish

Long and persistent with lingering black fruit, cassis, spice and cedar, finishing powerful yet balanced with impressive length.

🍇 Overall Style

A flagship single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Elderton’s historic Ashmead block planted in 1944 at Nuriootpa. The wine combines Barossa richness with classic Cabernet structure and is built to age gracefully for 15–20 years or more.
