Elderton Wines

Samuel Elderton Tolley established the Elderton Vineyards in the early 1900s. The main purpose in developing the vineyard was to supply Barossa wineries with premium fruit. In 1979 the Ashmead family purchased the property from the Tolley family and established Elderton Wines.

The vineyard now comprises 70 acres with the principle varieties being Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The majority of the vineyard is between 40 and 100 years in age. This age, combined with minimal irrigation, produces rich, concentrated fruit for exhibiting classic varietal characters. The majority of the vineyard is planted east to west, allowing the breezes to assist with canopy management.

Winners of many prestigious awards, Elderton offers full-bodied wines of quality and distinction. Today, Elderton Wines still remains family owned by the Ashmead's.
