Product details
A Cabernet/Shiraz/Merlot blend was added to our portfolio from the 1992 vintage. It was a belief that through blending only the best parcels of fruit from the Elderton vineyard, a truly wondrous and complete wine could be
made that showed the highlights of the three grape varieties. The decision was made from the 2002

The winemaking team at Elderton believe this is truly the hidden gem in the Elderton portfolio of premium red
