Eldredge Vineyards named as one of Australia's Top "Dark Horse" Wineries

James Halliday has named Eldredge Vineyards as one of his ‘Australia’s Top Ten Dark Horse Wineries’ in the 2014 edition of the James Halliday Australian Wine Companion:

“Leigh and Karen Eldredge established their vineyard and winery 20 years ago in the Sevenhill Ranges at an altitude of 500metres above Watervale. Over the years they have had conspicuous success with one or two wines, but have now produced a suite of lovely wines from the 2010 and 2012 vintages, ALL KEENLY PRICED.”

The 2012 Eldredge Blue Chip Shiraz has achieved cult status as one of the Clare Valley’s most sought-after Shiraz, rated 94 points in the Halliday Guide, it will cellar brilliantly for a decade.

The 2012 Eldredege ReserveMalbec also scored 94  - points – “the ultra-full-bodied palate with its array of Satsuma plum and black cherry fruit”. It has excellent cellaring potential, James advises us “to store it for the longest possible time.”
