Description
A deep crimson in glass, this flagship Barossa Cabernet reflects Eldertons proud heritageestablished on vines planted in 1894 and honed over four decades of winemaking excellence.
Aromatics
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
Palate & Texture
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
Finish
Long, silky finish with lingering blackberry, mint, and a touch of black tea, wrapped in velvety tannins that encourage another sip
Accolades & Ageing

Bottom line:
Eldertons 2021 Estate Cabernet is a robust, elegantly structured Barossa classicrich fruit, polished tannins, refreshing herbal lift, and solid ageing potentialshowcasing Oldvines 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
