Elderton Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

The Barossa is best known for Shiraz, but Cabernet Sauvignon grown here takes on a character all its own — riper and rounder than its Bordeaux ancestors, yet keeping the firm structure and savoury edge that define the grape. Elderton’s version is a serious wine: concentrated, tightly built, and unmistakably Cabernet.

Blackcurrant sits at the core, joined by cedar, dried herb and a lift of mint that Australian Cabernet does better than almost anywhere. Oak maturation adds spice and polish, while the tannins give the wine its shape and its ability to age. This is a bottle that improves with a decanter, and improves again with a few more years in the rack.

Serving Suggestions:
🍸 Best enjoyed: Cool room temperature, decanted an hour ahead — this wine benefits more than most
🍽️ Food Pairing: Grilled ribeye, roast beef, rack of lamb, venison, mature hard cheese
🍹 Serving Note: Best served with food. The tannins are firm on their own, and a fatty cut of meat rounds them out completely

Tasting Notes:
🍇 Aroma: Blackcurrant, dark cherry, cedar, tobacco leaf and a hint of eucalypt mint
🍯 Flavour: Dense dark fruit, savoury herb, graphite and oak spice
🔥 Finish: Long and firm, with structured tannins that hold the wine together

Did You Know?
📖 That minty, eucalypt note found in many Australian Cabernets is not imagination. Research has shown that eucalyptus oil compounds drift from nearby gum trees and settle on grape skins, carrying through fermentation into the finished wine. Vineyards planted near stands of eucalypt genuinely taste of their surroundings.

🌟 Final Note: A Cabernet with real presence and staying power. Decant it, pour it with something substantial, and give it your attention.
