The Greenstone Vineyard is on the ridge of old Cambrian soil that runs through the eastern side of the Camel Ranges. The soils are volcanic in origin, containing high levels of calcium, with soil pH over 7. The vineyard is planted to Shiraz, Tempranillo, Monastrell and Sangiovese. The vines are planted in east-west orientation which ensures a more gradual ripening process.

An outstanding Heathcote Shiraz!

Very deep crimson colour with crimson mauve hue. Perfumed nose with superb lift. Top note of violet, followed by spice, vanilla and freshly crushed blackberry. The palate delivers flavours of ripe plum, vanilla, black pepper and liquorice delivering a mouthfilling flavour profile. Excellent length and depth. Velvet tannins. Very long aftertaste of black pepper and liquorice.

The fruit for Elderton Shiraz is sourced mainly from the Elderton Vineyard situated on the banks of the North Para River. There are 12 blocks of Shiraz on the Elderton Estate, some as old as 100 years, which grow in deep alluvial soils over limestone. Combined with a Mediterranean climate and minimal supplemented irrigation, this creates what Elderton describe as ‘the perfect Shiraz vineyard’. The grapes are mainly machine harvested in the cool of the night, at an optimum maturity of about 14 – 15 Baume. This allows a quick delivery to the winery for crushing, before any spoilage can occur.

2006 was a vintage in two parts, having had rain in the middle of vintage. Those that picked early (like Elderton) have found that it is a wondrous vintage and a worthy successor to vintage like 2004 and 2005. Those that decided to take the rain on and leave their fruit hanging had some mixed results. Maturation takes place in French and American oak puncheons for just over 12 months.

This wine is consistently rated one of the region’s best value Shiraz – it’s rich, ripe voluptuous flavours at a price point that over delivers capturing wine lovers imaginations around the world.

Very deep crimson colour with crimson hue. Top note of vanilla, followed by spice, liquorice and chocolate delivering a classic Elderton perfumed lift.

In reference to the 2007 Rhone vintage Robert Parker states "2007 promises to be one of the best vintages in the last decade.” Opaque black crimson mauve colour with black mauve purple hue. Top note of fresh liquorice allsorts, followed by raspberry and spice. Full bodied palate with generous flavour profile. Flavours of liquorice and spice over a raspberry back palate. Light dusty tannins. Aftertaste of liquorice, spice and blackberry.

"...a heck of a wine that sells for a song...
An estate of 50 acres in Rasteau that merits serious attention , recent vintages have all been stunning, & a lot of that is due to the brilliant work of well known Southern Rhone consultant Philippe Cambie."
- Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate # 178, Aug 200"
