Glen Eldon Old Vine Series Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

The Barossa has been producing rich full- bodied Cabernet Sauvignon wines for over a century. Our “Old Vine Serie” release continues this tradition. Located in the South Eastern corner of the Eden Valley, the vineyards were planted in 1858 and continue to impress us by producing small yet concentrated bunches of premium fruit. 

Sandy loam and schist ground provide challenging conditions, low nutrients and water holding capacity for the vines to survive, rather than thrive. However over the last three centuries these vines have continued to produce small concentrated bunches of premium fruit.

Baum reached 14.5 before the fruit was hand picked and delivered to the winery ready for crushing and fermenting.

The fruit was crushed into small 2 tonne fermenters and fermented for 10-12 days with hand plunging in the morning and again in the evening, pushing the skins down into the fermenting juice, further imparting the precious colour and flavours in to the developing wine. After fermentation the skins were gently basket pressed for further flavour and colour extraction. The wine was then racked to a mixture of new and three year old French and American oak hogsheads. Every six months the wines were racked to tank and returned to oak, slowly removing deposits and assisting with clarity.

This exceptional wine has not been filtered and will develop a crust over time, hence decanting is highly recommended.

Glen Eldon Dry Bore Barossa Shiraz 2017

The Barossa has been producing rich full-bodied Shiraz wines for over a century. Glen Eldon Dry Bore Shiraz continues this tradition. Located in the heart of the Barossa, vineyard continues to impress us with producing small yet concentrated bunches of premium Shiraz. 

Rich, fertile, sandy loam and dark bisque soils provide ideal growing opportunities for vines and with the Barossa's Mediterranean climate, warm summers and cold winters offer ideal viticultural conditions. The starting point of Glen Eldon Wines. Richard’s first ever wine made exactly as he wanted to and still the benchmark against which all the others are measured. 17 different parcels of fruit from three vineyards in completely different sub-districts of the Barossa are meticulous crafted into completely separate wines.

It is this that gives Richard the options he wants when he makes his bench blend ensuring no matter what the vintage the Dry Bore Shiraz is always an exquisite red showcasing the wonderful generous flavours for which the Barossa is world famous.
