97 Points James Halliday — Elderton's Barossa Flagship

The 2017 Elderton Command Barossa Valley Shiraz is one of the Barossa's most celebrated single-vineyard expressions — sourced from old vines planted in 1894 on the estate's Nuriootpa block.

My Wine Man on Elderton

Elderton is one of the Barossa Valley's most respected family estates, farming the historic Nuriootpa vineyard since 1979. The Command is the estate's flagship — drawn from old, dry-grown vines and made in tiny quantities for serious collectors.

Tasting Notes

Deep crimson with profound concentration. Dark plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, mocha, vanilla bean and a touch of clove. The palate is full-bodied with ripe velvety tannins and a long, generous finish of extraordinary depth. 97 Points — James Halliday.

Style & Drinking Window

Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Drinking beautifully now and built to evolve through 2040+. Decant 1–2 hours.

Food Pairing

A 97-point Barossa flagship Shiraz deserves the finest beef. We love it with Australian Grass-Fed Cape Grim Rib-Eye Steak from My Meat Man — dry-aged and char-grilled medium-rare with bone-marrow butter, a magnificent match for Command's dark plum, mocha and velvety old-vine Barossa tannins.
