This is their seventh release of Tantalus Red, a blend of Shiraz and Cabernet (51% Shiraz / 28% Cabernet Sauvignon / 21% Malbec), each vintage better than the last. Elderton released Tantalus to provide an easy drinking style of premium red at an every day drinking price. Tantalus was a figure from Greek Mythology who was punished for offending the Gods by being kept perpetually thirsty and hungry but tantalised by water and fruit he could see but not quite reach!

The wine presents with a deep purple color, with hints of cedar, violets and cinnamon on the nose. Lovely, ripe sweet fruit showing plummy richness and black cherries. It has wonderful acidity and a refined tannin backbone. Enjoy now or within 2-3 years from vintage.

When you're ready to entertain, you've found the perfect pairing wine with barbecues, antipasto plates, pizza, and pasta.
