Elderton Ashmead Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 750ml
Only
$89.99
The Ashmead block has consistently produced small parcels of excellent quality fruit. The vineyard, planted 1944 (now over 60 years old), 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, a superior example of Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in a mix of new French Oak Hogsheads from about 8 different coopers.
Style - Smooth and rich
Colour - Deep crimson
Aroma - Enticing aromas of cassis, dark chocolate and bay leaf
Palate - Rich blackberry and cassis fruits follow on the palate, with nuances of bay leaf. The generous fruit flavours are supported by a backbone of tightly wound tannins that will further soften with medium to long term cellaring
Alc/Vol 14.5%
