"The 2013 Neil Ashmead Gts Elderton Estate, named after their father, is an estate-grown cuvee from a single block planted in the 1950s and farmed biodynamically since after 2006. Aged in 100% new French oak for 12+ months on the lees, this medium-deep garnet colored Shiraz opens to beautifully lifted black cherry, blackberry and floral notes intermingling with a slightly gamy/meaty undercurrent that has an accent of star anise. The medium to full-bodied palate is structured by fine, grainy tannins and nice freshness that lends great elegance to the long finish. "Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Blackberry & bramble fruit with bready, meaty and savoury yeast characters, full rich palate and great length. This wine will constantly evolve in the glass from savoury meaty characters to red and black fruits.

Grown from a single block on the Elderton Estate with the use of sustainable methods, we believe this wine is something completely different and unexpected from Elderton, but sits perfectly within our premise to gain recognition for premier single vineyard wines. Fermented in our waxed open fermenters with heading boards and pressed early straight to new French oak hogsheads, for 15 months on gross lees.
