Just outside the cellar door (tasting room) at Elderton is a plot of ancient shiraz vines that go into the covetted The Command. We tasted the lot of Elderton wines, for free.
The winery converted entirely to screwtops, in fact, they indicated local bottle makers don't offer cork-style bottles and Australia is on the bottom of the cork-supply totem. Elderton felt confident that their wines would preserve for at least 15 years based on the quality of the wine, not the screwtop. The Neil Ashmead GTS was a totally different style then their usual figy-sweet shiraz, it was dark raspberries, cocoa and coffee with a stick-shift screwtop...rad.
