Description
"Estate-grown vines 35-50yo; matured for 22 months in French hogsheads. Quite apart from the rarity of cabernet vines of this age, the viticultural skill in managing growth through to picking at this baume/alcohol level is the cornerstone for a strongly varietal cabernet treated with utmost respect in the winery." James Halliday Wine Comeptition 2016
"Deep arnet-purple,Elderton's2013 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon presents warm blackcurrants and plums on the nose accented by touches of pencil lead and dried herbs. A nice backbone of chewy tannins and good acid freshness offsets the richly fruited palate through the long finish" Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW
The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are grown exclusively on the Elderton Vineyard where very old deep alluvial soils over limestone provide a great growing environment. The majority of the Cabernet vines are aged between 35 and 50 years. The 1992 Vintage won the prestigious Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy in 1993, and vintages since have won many international awards and accolades. The Elderton Estate Cabernet is a proven consistent performer.
