Celebrate a Legacy: The Founders Collection The Founders Collection is more than just a premium selection of Barossa Valley reds—it is a liquid tribute to the visionary pioneers who laid the very foundations of Elderton Wines: Neil and Lorraine Ashmead. In the late 1970s and early 80s, during a challenging era for the Barossa, Neil and Lorraine set out with a relentless passion to revitalize the region. Neil was the ultimate "Barossa Road Warrior," tirelessly driving from city to city with a car full of wine, sharing his infectious enthusiasm with anyone who would listen. Alongside him, Lorraine worked with boundless dedication, helping to establish the estate and championing the unique spirit of the valley. This curated half-dozen brings together the two exceptional, estate-grown wines crafted in their honor, making it an extraordinary gift option for a fellow wine lover or a prized addition for collectors looking to cellar classic Barossa styles in a more compact format. What’s Included in the Pack This exclusive six-pack features three bottles of each tribute wine: 3 x 2022 Ode to Lorraine (Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz/Merlot) Dedicated to co-founder Lorraine Ashmead, this elegant blend is considered the hidden gem of Elderton’s portfolio. It combines the structure of old-vine Cabernet with the rich generosity of Shiraz and a soft touch of Merlot, offering vibrant notes of cassis, warm cinnamon, and clove with a beautifully long, fine tannin line. 3 x 2023 Neil Ashmead Grand Tourer Shiraz Named in memory of Neil and inspired by his love of fast cars and endless road trips to promote the region, this is a highly distinctive, serious Barossa Shiraz. It showcases a unique, powerful "blue-fruited" character with fresh blueberries, savoury complexity, and a seamless, creamy finish. A Collector’s Treasure & The Perfect Gift Whether you are seeking to reward a client, celebrate a milestone, or enrich your personal cellar, the Founders Collection represents the heart and soul of Elderton. Both of these premium reds are built to age gracefully, promising beautiful development over the next 10 to 15 years.
