Elderton Command Shiraz 2018

Experience the rich and complex flavors of the Elderton Command Shiraz 2018, a true icon in the world of Australian wines. This exceptional wine is crafted from grapes grown on a selected portion of the Elderton Estate vineyard, where the vines have been thriving since 1894. The Elderton family has been producing wines for over a century, and their commitment to quality and sustainability is evident in every bottle.

The Command Shiraz has earned a well-deserved reputation as one of Australia's best wines, with accolades pouring in from all over the world. The 2000 vintage was awarded an impressive 97 points by Wine Spectator and placed 27th in their top 100, while the 1996 vintage won Best Shiraz in The World at the London International Wine and Spirit Competition.

At Elderton, the winemaking process is steeped in tradition, with a focus on sustainability and quality. The grapes are carefully handpicked and sorted, then fermented in small batches using natural yeasts. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, allowing the flavours to develop and mature.

The Elderton Command Shiraz 2018 boasts a deep, dark colour and a complex aroma of blackberry, plum, and spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with flavours of dark fruit, chocolate, and a hint of vanilla. The tannins are firm and well-structured, providing a long and satisfying finish.

This exceptional wine pairs perfectly with hearty meat dishes, such as grilled steak or slow-cooked lamb. It also pairs well with strong cheeses and dark chocolate.
