The 2024 Elderton Estate Shiraz is a classic Barossa Valley expression, crafted from a four-vineyard blend across Nuriootpa, Greenock, Craneford and the newly introduced high-altitude Mengler site in Eden Valley. This multi-site approach brings both richness and freshness, combining traditional Barossa power with added brightness and structure.
The nose is expressive and lifted, showing spiced plum, blackberry and red berry fruits, layered with pepper, clove and subtle savoury notes. There is a vibrant aromatic profile with both ripe fruit and spice-driven complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth yet structured texture and fresh, elongated tannins. Juicy red and dark fruit are supported by spice, a touch of oak and a savoury edge, leading to a long, balanced and seamless finish. The 2024 vintage stands out for its combination of fruit intensity and freshness, with more lift and precision than heavier Barossa styles.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a textbook "modern Barossa Shiraz" that we position as a premium everyday option with real regional character. Compared to heavier Barossa wines, this is more balanced and fresh, while still delivering richness and depth. It’s ideal for customers who want a versatile Shiraz that works both for casual drinking and proper food pairing. Drink now or over the next 8–12+ years. Perfect with steak, lamb, BBQ or slow-cooked dishes.
