The Ashmead family purchased their first estate vineyard in the middle of Nuriootpa in the late 1970s and since making their first wine from the 1982 vintage, have developed a great reputation and an enviable history of success. Second-generation brothers, Cameron and Allister have since purchased two other exceptional vineyards in the east and west of the Barossa, with all three of these vineyards going into this Shiraz.
Our Barossa Shiraz comes from many parcels across our three vineyard sites. These vineyards ripen differently owing to their different aspects, elevation, and soil types. Our Greenock vineyard is on the western end of the Barossa, the first to ripen for us, and always brings a vibrant bouquet and punchy tannin to our blend. Our Nuriootpa plantings bring a depth of tannin and a lovely sweet spiced fruit element and our Craneford vineyard is a more elevated site on leaner soils ripening later in the season.
Barossa Shiraz is now highly collectible worldwide, and the Elderton is always a benchmark for the region.
