PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A deep crimson in glass, this flagship Barossa Cabernet reflects Elderton’s proud heritage—established on vines planted in 1894 and honed over four decades of winemaking excellence.
Opens with inviting aromas of blackberry and black currant compote, enhanced by nuanced cedar, mint/eucalyptus, and a hint of licorice. Subtle herbal tones and crushed stone-mineral accents lend Barossa character
Full-bodied yet polished: dark cherry, plum, and baked earth lead, layered with rich dark chocolate and savoury spice. Lush but firm tannins support the fruit, while bright acidity keeps it vibrant and age-worthy
Long, silky finish with lingering blackberry, mint, and a touch of black tea, wrapped in velvety tannins that encourage another sip
• Scored 92 points (Natalie MacLean)
• 90/100 average, rich and intense style
• Drinking beautifully now, but built to cellar confidently up to 2031+
Best with grilled red meats (like venison or rib‑eye), hearty casseroles, aged cheeses, or dishes rich in umami and roasted flavors.
Bottom line:
Elderton’s 2021 Estate Cabernet is a robust, elegantly structured Barossa classic—rich fruit, polished tannins, refreshing herbal lift, and solid ageing potential—showcasing Old‑vines intensity with refined balance.
"The 2021 Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon smells of autumn leaves and forest floor, cassis, bramble, tobacco and dried mint. In the mouth, black olives, gravel, roasted beets and crushed rocks rule the roost. It's a big wine, with little evidence of the cool season that birthed it. Lots going on! 14.9% alcohol, sealed under screw cap." Robert Parker 90 points
