History
Elderton has a proud history of producing great dessert wines and we are extremely excited to now continue
this journey with the sixth vintage produced with fruit from our own Greenock vineyard. This wine
continues to be very popular, especially with visitors to cellar door. The 2002 vintage was the Australian
representative and just missed out on the title for the world’s best dessert wine at the London International Wine
and Spirits Competition.

Vineyard Information
Our vineyard, located in Greenock in the west of the Barossa Valley was added to the Elderton family in 2010
and is a great addition to the portfolio. The 60 acre vineyard has plantings back to 1915 and a terroir that has
been in demand by many of the Barossa’s elite winemakers. 15 - 30 year old Semillon vines were cordon cut
and the fruit allowed to desiccate for three weeks on the vine.
Winemaker’s Comments
From 1985 and 1999 plantings of Semillon, the vines were cordon cut and the fruit allowed to desiccate for three
weeks on the vine. After hand picking it was crushed and held on skins for three days to help extract the flavour
from the desiccated berries before pressing. Fermentation was long and slow due to the difficult conditions
faced by the yeast. The fermentation was stopped and the wine filtered. The wine was then bottled and
matured for release.
