About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazBarossa Valley, AustraliaElderton's Command Shiraz is one of Australia's truly brilliant traditional Barossa Shiraz's. Named because of the special treatment the quality fruit 'commanded', this is a Shiraz of foreboding concentration. The fruit for this 'Excellent' Langton's classified Australian icon comes from the century old Elderton vineyard located on the banks of the Para River and is matured in a mixture of French and American oak. This allows the wine to retain its driven power while also giving the wine a level of complexity and balance unique to this region and producer. The 2005 Command is still a relatively young wine that will continue to develop in bottle for the next 5 to 10 years, yet is a joyous and exciting drink today.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Vintage 2005
95 points The Wine Front
The tannins are smooth and silky and the wine feels fresh and dynamic, offering excellent length with a coconut and coffee twist on exit… world-class level at its particular game. No doubt.
