Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"The Icon range represents the pinnacle of Elephant Hill’s winemaking. Hand crafted in small batches, in low volumes, from a selection of only the best grapes, from the best vineyard blocks and aged in the best quality French barrels. These special wines are for collecting and cellaring and will age well in bottle for many years. Airavata is our finest Syrah named after the most revered white elephant in Hindu mythology ‘Airavata’, the king of elephants, who carried the deity Indra on its back."

5 Stars & 98/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2024 (2021 Vintage)
"Gracefully opulent, the wine shows blackberry, smoked game, Chinese Five Spice, rich floral and toasty oak aromas, leading to a sumptuous palate that’s packed with rich fruit intensity and savoury nuances. A sumptuous offering with outstanding depth and power, wonderfully framed by plush texture and polished tannins. At its best: 2026 to 2041. "

Rated Outstanding & 96/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2024 (2021 Vintage)
"Fabulous bouquet and palate with scents of dark plums and baked raspberry, some tobacco moments along with wild forest flowers and berries, plenty of earthy mineral suggestions and best of all, a touch of mystery and intrigue. Dry, taut, some tension and poise, grip and flavours. The scents from the bouquet translate to the palate seamlessly with tannins and acidity framing the fruits and showcasing the potential still locked into the palate. best drinking from at least late 2025 through 2032+."
