Named in honour of Eliza King - wife of Coonawarra founding father John Riddoch, the Riddoch 'Eliza King' Shiraz 2025 is a rich, full-bodied red brimming with regional character. It opens with lifted aromas of dark berries, plum, and mulberry, complemented by signature hints of choc mint and subtle oak spice. The palate is wonderfully concentrated and seamless, layering intense ripe plum and blueberry against fine, elegant tannins before gliding into a long, flavour-packed finish.

Pioneer of the Coonawarra region, John Riddoch, lends his name to the highway that dissects the famous 'terra rossa' dominated region which is home to some of Australia's premier red wine vineyards. The fruit for this evocative Shiraz is sourced from some of these vineyards and is aged in a combination of French and American oak for 18 months to develop increased complexity. Exuding plum and red fruit aromas with just a tiny hint of oak that supports the rich textured palate. Perfect for enjoying today or for careful medium term cellaring.

Elgin's crossing commemorates pioneering vigneron John Riddoch's outward voyage to Australia aboard the sailing ship lady Elgin in 1851. Riddoch went on to become an influential figure in South Australia, establishing the Coonawarra fruit colony in 1890.
