The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are grown exclusively on the Elderton Vineyard where very old deep alluvial soils over limestone provide a great growing environment. The majority of the Cabernet vines are aged between 35 and 50 years. The 1992 Vintage won the prestigious Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy in 1993, and vintages since have won many international awards and accolades. The Elderton Estate Cabernet is a proven consistent performer.
