2022 Barossa Bullet Shiraz

The Ashmead brothers, Cameron and Allister, launched the Elderton Barossa Bullet Shiraz in 2018 and are excited for this, the third release of this wine. Made to showcase all the hallmarks of good early drinking Barossa Shiraz, the wine has a beautiful richness and is yet extraordinarily supple having been aged in barrels that formerly held our Command Shiraz.

It is the curious little parcels of Shiraz from the 2022 vintage that have a chance to shine in this blend - the Bullet Shiraz. We chose a parcel with a really distinctive red raspberry character from Craneford, and a super vibrant, crunchy parcel from Greenock. There is also a delicious balanced example of Nuriootpa Shiraz in the blend, which helps to tie all the flavours together. - Jules Ashmead and Brock Harrison
