2017 Elderton Estate Shiraz, Barossa Valley

The Ashmead family in Barossa Valley have been growing fruit for a long time, and started out selling it to other wineries. Starting in 1982 the family started to make their own wines from their old vines (some of their plantings date back over 100 years) and today are considered one of the benchmark producers in the valley. The Elderton Estate is sourced from three vineyards the family owns and shows a classic Barossa lushness of dark fruits and black pepper with a spicy oak finish that is perfect for barbecue.
