[message]Description
The winemaking team at Elderton believe this is truly the hidden gem in the Elderton portfolio of premium reds. A Cabernet/Shiraz/Merlot blend was added to our portfolio from the 1992 vintage. It was a belief that through blending only the best parcels of fruit from the Elderton vineyard, a truly wondrous and complete wine could be made that showed the highlights of the three grape varieties. The decision was made from the 2002 vintage onwards for the wine to be renamed (from CSM) in honor of co-founder of Elderton Wines, Lorraine Ashmead. This wine is dedicated to a woman who is greatly admired in the Barossa for her passion, dedication and commitment to not only Elderton, but to all the wondrous things our beautiful valley produces.

Tasting Notes
Elderton Ode To Lorraine is rich and sophisticated in style and has a dark ruby color with aromas of spiced dark chocolate, plummy tones with hints of bay leaf. Dark red fruits and cassis with brooding spice and a subtle chocolate note. Serious tannin profile owing to the vintage, with a boldness of fruit that lengthens the palate.
Best Paired With
Elderton Ode To Lorraine is best enjoyed with meatloaf, pork tenderloin, and roast chicken. A perfect winter-warming red to enjoy by the fire with a cheesy comfort-food pizza!
