Elderton Ode To Lorraine Cabernet Shiraz Merlot 2022

Perhaps not the most typical blend found in the wine world, 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Shiraz and 4% Merlot, the fruit comes from their Nuriootpa vineyard, with some vines well over 100 years. It spent twenty months maturing in a mix of new and older French puncheons. A deep maroon and ruby red hue, bold cassis notes dominate the nose. It is well supported by aromas of mulberries, fresh earth, coffee grinds and mushrooms. The wine lifts even further on the palate with fresh acidity, energy, a degree of plushness, balance and excellent length. It finishes with satiny tannins and persistence. Enjoy over the next six to eight years, likely considerably longer.
