Elderton Ode to Lorraine Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz Merlot 2022

The source of this excellent wine is the Elderton Nuriootpa vineyard, with vines that are now up to 128 years of age. This is a typically powerful wine but with an elegance that comes with this very good vintage. The aromas show traces of blackcurrant, bay leaf and a little olive tapenade with a slightly oyster shell minerality. The palate has a juicy feel with delicious, spicy fruits supported by fine tannins and a combination of new and seasoned French oak. A first rate wine.
