Log in / Sign up Elderton Eden Valley Chardonnay 2019
As a single-site wine, our Eden Valley Chardonnay will always show the typicity of the vineyard, whilst varying with what each season brings. We are on a constant learning journey adapting to what the season brings. Our Chardonnay is a serious interpretation, from an excellent vintage. The Chardonnay is 100% from our Eden Valley vineyard, which lies just south of the small township of Craneford, at an elevation of 420m. The soil and climate vary quite considerably from that of the Barossa Valley floor. It is generally wetter and cooler in the Eden Valley with soils tending to be skeletal and minerally.
Aspect also varies significantly, with rolling hills and valleys providing much site variation. The Chardonnay block sits at one of the highest points of the vineyard and is tended to by our own viticulturists, Peter Wild and Conrad Pohlinger, who ensure the utmost care is taken in every step of the vine cycle. Fermented in French oak, partial malolactic fermentation and regular lees stirring has helped to build the delicious creamy texture in this wine.

Salmon Fishcakes, Caesar salad, mild curry dishes.
Lifted orange blossom and stone fruit with flinty notes and hints of cashew.
Delicate lime tart and nectarine, with savoury nuances. A depth of flavour we only see in great years, balanced with a fresh line of acidity.
