Elderton Command Shiraz is a single vineyard wine that has established a formidable international reputation since the first vintage in 1984. Many years later, the wine is regarded as one of the great wines of the world. The Elderton vineyard is located on the southern edge of the Nuriootpa township and planted on deep alluvial silt over red and brown earth and limestone. The majority of the rows are orientated east-west (as opposed to the more common orientation of north-south). This enables cooling breezes from the Barossa Ranges to flow through the rows of vines rather than against them. The Command block is planted out with Shiraz vines that are over 100 years old which contributes to the monumental layers of flavour and complexity.
