The vineyard – where the wine begins
There are many blocks of Shiraz on the three Elderton estate vineyards at Nuriootpa, Greenock and Craneford, ranging in age from 24 – 126 years of age! Some of the best parcels from each of our vineyards are fermented separately, then blended to create the perfect Barossa Shiraz. The 2017 Barossa Shiraz is composed by fruit from 40% Greenock, 30% Nuriootpa, 30% Craneford.
The 2017 vintage was characterised by steady ripening of fruit across the Barossa. From our vineyards we were able to get great fresh flavours particular to each site, with some tight just-ripe tannins behind to balance the fruit. We love the freshness that 2017 brings, and the elegance in the wines as a result.
