Elderton Barossa Shiraz 2021

This veritable kaleidoscope of aromas and flavours hails from Elderton’s Eden Valley, Greenock and Nuriootpa vineyards. Soaring Eden Valley black pepper and florals charm from the get-go, with red liquorice, star anise, clove, dried herbs and a lick of espresso chiming in on the palate. Lively acidity teases out the fresh-picked, palate-staining blueberry and blackberry fruit. A fine fretwork of mineral tannins embeds the flavours. Great value for money. Drinking window: 2024-2033. Score – 94. (Sarah Ahmed, decanter.com, April 7, 2024)
