Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Our most awarded wine. With three Gold medals and six 95 point reviews by the most respected wine critics in Australia and UK it’s just getting started. Our flagship Single Vineyard Shiraz. Eleven years ago we began our search for a truly iconic Barossa Shiraz vineyard. We are now excited to reveal the sixth vintage of ELIJAH* Eden Valley Shiraz! Hailing from the revered Fechner brothers’ Moculta vineyard in the Northern Eden Valley, it is a powerful wine incorporating new French oak from France’s oldest family cooperage, Leroi.

Elijah is a powerhouse showcase of the Eden Valley, a unique combination of elegance and intensity, powerful fruit with structure. My conviction and experience is that a wine that shows balance and dense structure early on will make for an age worthy wine worth cellaring. Elijah's layered tannins and brooding, dense nature will become even more complex with a further five to 10 years in the cellar."

5 Stars & 95/100 Gabrielle Poy, The Real Review (2021 Vintage)
"Alluring notes of iodine mix with spiced black plums, raspberries and vanilla on the nose. It's brooding and needs air to flex its muscles. On the palate a rich core of fruit intertwines with savoury notes of coffee and fresh leather. The shape of wine is long and the flavours last. It needs time as it's a beautifully complex, full bodied red with a lot to offer, all the while remaining bouyant on the palate. A delicious modern shiraz."

95/100 Dave Brookes, James Halliday's Wine Companion (2021 Vintage)
"The 2021 Barossa vintage continues to deliver the goods! Sporting a super vibrant colour in the glass and detailed aromas of juicy plum, blueberry, exotic spice, wildflowers, dark chocolate, liquorice, vanillin oak, turned earth and charcuterie. Velvety plush in the mouth with powdery tannin and a wonderful fruit presence and flow; long and true. It's a cracker."

Judges' Comments, London International Wine Competition 2025 (2021 Vintage)
"Deep in colour with subtle pepper and dark fruit on the nose, this full-bodied red delivers refined power and detail on the palate with a dry, elegant finish and long, graceful presence."

Judges' Comments, Decanter World Wine Awards 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Immense jammy fruit, chocolate and coconut oak invites and inspires with a settling olive and black pepper character. Driven and lively with a mouth-watering fresh finish."
