Cellar Techniques 

The fruit was harvested by hand, with five small parcels harvested over five weeks to attain complex nuances. Fermented in open top concrete fermenters with chilled ferments, hand pump-overs and cap submerging with oak header boards for eight days; the process finished with barrel ferment and malolactic fermentation in new French and American puncheons.

Winery

The family Estate, located in Nuriootpa, where all of Elderton’s icon wines are produced, have in recent years been able to acquire other significant sites around the Barossa to further showcase the diverse regionality that exists within the appellation. The winemaking team works very closely with their viticulturalists, throughout the year, to produce quality fruit with a focus on long term sustainable production, low yields, low irrigation and minimal inputs.
