2007 Friends Eden Valley Riesling wins TROPHY for Best Current Release Riesling at the 2007 Canberra International Riesling Challange.

Another exciting accolade to add to the list…..

Elderton Wines were awarded 5 stars in the 2008 edition of James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion – The bestselling and definitive guide to Australian wines. His comments were as follows:

"The wines are based on old, high-quality Barossa floor estate vineyards, but has moved with the times by moving towards French oak, and is reaping the benefits in quality terms. The Command Shiraz is justifiably regarded as its icon wine. Energetic promotion and marketing both in Australia and overseas is paying dividends. Elderton has followed in the footsteps of Cullen by becoming Carbon Neutral."
