Medium ruby in color; cherries, dried herbs, and blackberries on the nose; high acidity; high tannins; tastes like black plums, blueberries, and a hint of black pepper with a long finish. I like it. Nellie likes it with food. — 2 months ago

The first of 3 Yalumba Octavius Shiraz brought to the Cairns BYO Indian restaurant. No formal notes but you could use the notes for the just posted Elderton Command. The other 2 Octavius drunk on the night were 2015 and 2016 which were excellent but way too young. — 4 years ago

At eight years of age this one is still incredibly youthful. Mostly dark primary fruit - juicy blackcurrant - with spicy tobacco notes. Drinking swimmingly right now. — 7 years ago

Choosing the next Downs Club White wine from 44 masked entries. Great balance between fruit and oak - the former in the peaches/stone fruit style. Very balanced. Amazing QPR selling for $15 on the Elderton web site with a LUC to the Club at under $10. My choice on the night but sadly democracy prevailed and another wine got the nod. — 6 years ago

Dark purple, heavy bodied, moderate tannins… velvety mouthfeel with bouquet opening up notes of plum, black berries, herbs, vetiver, black pepper, liquorice, leather and caramel. Great pairing with red meat 😋 — 6 months ago

@Delectable Wine this is actually Old Vine Grenache which they don't produce every year.

The girls had access to an old plot of vines from the Elderton properties and the idea to make this gorgeous little wine was automatic.

Small victories is a department of Elderton in a way. It is run by the two wives of the Ashmead bros owners of Elderton wines.

The winemaker Jules is a Campbell from Rutherglen and has winemaking written all over her DNA. She is super attentive all along the process. Wines are wild fermented and looked after like babies.

The wine is juicy and fresh.
Running like a teenager not sitting down like an old person.
I look forward to see all the next wines they will make. — 10 months ago

Ripe fruits, creamy mouthfeel, full bodied with lovely acidity and rounded tannins. Not spicy for a Shiraz. — 6 years ago
