Elderton's Command Shiraz is one old school Barossa Shiraz. Named because of the special treatment the quality fruit 'commanded', this is a Shiraz of foreboding concentration. The fruit for this 'Excellent' Langton's classified Australian icon comes from the century old Elderton vineyard located on the banks of the Para River and is matured in a mixture of French and American oak. This allows the wine to retain its driven power while also giving the wine a level of complexity and balance unique to this region and producer. Elderton's Command can be enjoyed by lovers of ripe and rich fruit early, yet will reward the truly patient with a wine of true beauty when left alone to mature for a decade.

Tasting notes: pale ruby red color with brick reflections, the nose has aromas of cherry, violet, cinnamon, rhubarb and hints of vanilla. On the palate the tannin is silky and gives the wine elegance. The finish is persistent. Food pairings: stuffed pasta, meat-based second courses
