The warm dry autumn was ideal for allowing the Cabernet grapes to reach optimal maturity, allowing the softening of tannins.

Elderton Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 (Australia)
Elderton Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 (Australia)
Description
A full bodied wine with rich, classy deep purple colour in the glass. Red berries, beetroot, chocolate show on the palate, whilst the nose offers aromas of blackberry, cassis and beetroot.
The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are grown exclusively on the three Elderton Vineyards situated on the banks of the North Para River in Nuriootpa, on the western ridge near Greenock and the Eastern ranges in Craneford. The 1988 vintage was chosen by Qantas for first class, the 1992 vintage won the prestigious Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy in 1993 and for the next two years won Gold and Trophy at the Barossa Wine Show. The 1994 vintage gave Elderton its first international Gold medal at the 1996 London International Wine Show. The 1998 once again won Gold and Trophy, in the Barossa Wine Show for the Best Regional Cabernet, and the 1999 won a trophy in Belgium for the best wine imported into the country. A proven consistent performer, we believe that the 2016 will easily continue in this trend.
There are a number of blocks of Cabernet on the Elderton estate vineyards at Nuriootpa and Craneford. Some of the best parcels from these two sites are blended to create this Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are mainly harvested at Baume around 13.5 - 14.5, reached with the help of our Mediterranean climate. The 2016 vintage is drinking well today but may be confidently cellared for a further 10+ years.
