Like the Command block, which is an amazing resource to the Elderton Estate, the Ashmead block has consistently produced small parcels of excellent quality fruit. The vineyard was almost destroyed in 1997 to make way for higher yielding vines, however the family made the decision to promote the vineyard to a higher destiny – thus the Ashmead. The 2019 is the nineteenth release of this unparalleled wine, and is a superior example of Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon. Elderton is not unfamiliar with premium Cabernet, having won more than 8 trophies for this varietal including the 1993 Jimmy Watson Trophy.

Tasting Notes
Elderton Ashmead Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is smooth and rich, yet fresh in style and has a deep crimson color with enticing aromas of blackberry with hints of dark chocolate. Rich ripe berry fruit flavors on the palate, with nuances of floral dried herb. A firm yet balanced tannin structure envelopes the fruit and will soften over the coming years.
Best Paired With
Pairing with sirloin and ribeye steak is a must! Some juicy beef or pork sausage from the summer barbecue works well too for Elderton Ashmead Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.
