Log in / Sign up Elderton Ashmead Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
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.

Barbecue meats, Lamb Cutlets, Kebabs, stews
Enticing aromas of blackberry with hints of dark chocolate.
Rich ripe berry fruit flavours 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.
