It’s a benchmark collector’s wine and a compelling choice for anyone who wants to experience the pinnacle of what the Barossa Valley is capable of producing. Equally rewarding now with decanting, or cellared for decades of further development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Is Elderton Command Shiraz Famous?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Command Shiraz is one of Australia’s most celebrated and consistently awarded single-vineyard Shiraz expressions — produced from estate-grown vines planted circa 1894 on the Command vineyard in Nuriootpa. The vineyard’s age, the Elderton family’s commitment to estate growing, and the wine’s extraordinary track record of critical acclaim across multiple vintages have established Command Shiraz as a benchmark of Australian fine wine and a must-have for serious collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs It Worth Ageing?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely — the 2019 Command Shiraz is built for the long haul. The superfine gypsum-like tannins, exceptional fruit concentration, and 24 months of French and American oak puncheon ageing provide a framework for 20–25 years of further development. Drink now with extended decanting (2–3 hours minimum) to reveal its full complexity, or cellar to 2040–2045 for the full expression of this remarkable vintage. Store on its side in a cool, dark environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat’s Similar?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFans of Elderton Command Shiraz may also enjoy Penfolds RWT Barossa Valley Shiraz or Torbreck RunRig for a comparable old-vine Barossa power and structure, or explore Henschke Hill of Grace for the ultimate benchmark of single-vineyard South Australian Shiraz. Within the Elderton range, the Elderton Estate Shiraz offers a more accessible expression of the same Barossa estate character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Do Critics Love It?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDave Brookes’ 96-point score from the James Halliday Wine Companion captures what makes Command Shiraz so compelling — the combination of richness, power, and the superfine tannin structure that sets it apart from lesser Barossa expressions. The 2019 vintage, shaped by a severe spring frost that dramatically reduced crop load and concentrated the fruit of the century-old vines, is widely regarded as one of the finest Command Shiraz releases in recent memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWinemaking Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrafted from estate-grown Shiraz planted circa 1894 on the Command vineyard in Nuriootpa — harvested over a week from 13 to 18 March 2019 in several picks, achieving perfect balance from each section of the vineyard as clay content gradually increases from the North Para River on the western side to Cellar Door at the eastern end. A combination of heading boards and standard open fermentation, with a small amount of barrel ferment. Post-pressing, transferred to new French and American oak puncheons from trusted coopers, undergoing malolactic fermentation and 24 months of further ageing.

Fine conditions followed, allowing the team to ripen a much smaller, highly concentrated crop — the reduced yield delivering fruit of exceptional intensity, depth, and old-vine Barossa character. The 2019 vintage Command Shiraz is the direct result of this adversity: bold, rich, structured, and elegant, with intense dark plum, blackberry, fruitcake spice, and superfine gypsum-like tannins of outstanding concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elderton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43727317926137,"sku":"9314663205162-2019","price":139.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/6820\/0441\/products\/elderton-barossa-valley-command-shiraz_448dc093-d35e-40ab-a731-baf6a7ab3996.jpg?v=1775705091"},{"product_id":"penfolds-grange-2018","title":"Penfolds Grange 2018 | South Australia | Gift Boxed","description":"\u003cp\u003ePenfolds Grange 2018 is one of the most universally acclaimed releases in the wine’s history — awarded a perfect 100 points by seven independent critics, including Andrew Caillard MW, Ken Gargett (World of Fine Wine), Nick Stock (JamesSuckling.com), Tony Love, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Anders Enquist (Livets Goda), and Wilfred Wong (Wine.com).

A modicum of modesty attempts to conceal all beneath a blackened veil of hydrocarbon shoe polish, sootiness, and coal dust.
