2022 Elderton Ashmead Cabernet Sauvignon

Like the Command block, which is an amazing resource to the Elderton Estate, the Ashmead block has consistently produced small parcels of excellent quality fruit. The vineyard was almost destroyed in 1997 to make way for higher yielding vines, however the family made the decision to promote the vineyard to a higher destiny – thus the Ashmead.

There is a restraint to this vintage, almost a sleeping giant. A power of blackberry and hints of cinnamon and dark chocolate to match, the finish is long, with a freshness of wooded berry notes dancing alongside the silky tannins.
