Named in honour of co-founder of Elderton, Neil Ashmead, Cameron and Allister believe the wine is a fitting tribute to their dad – an amazing individual who was always willing to push the boundaries of expectations – it is a different expression of Shiraz than that typically expected of Elderton Shiraz.

“This is a very bold, expressively fleshy shiraz that has such smooth, silky texture.” JamesSuckling.com

“…an expressive bouquet of plum and diverse black fruits, the medium to full-bodied palate following in the centre of the road… A long life ahead.” Halliday Wine Companion
