Good deal from an iconic Barossa producer. The Elderton Barossa Shiraz is ordinarily ~$25 by the dozen which means the real deal is $45 for a bottle of their Command Shiraz which ordinarily retails at $125. That's not a super inflated RRP, the best deal I could find on the Command was still $115. Good chance to try a premium wine from a well regarded winery for those who would ordinarily be reluctant to spend over $100 on a bottle. The Barossa Shiraz itself is a fantastic wine that punches above it's weight and definitely worth holding onto a few bottles. I have a couple left from the mid-2000s that are still drinking very well.

Before the pedants come out I was able to match the deal at www.nicks.com.au which came to $378.89 so still 15% off the whole package

11 x 2017 Barossa Shiraz https://eldertonwines.com.au/product/2017-shiraz-dozen/
1 x 2016 Command Shiraz https://eldertonwines.com.au/product/command-shiraz/

Of the 2016 Command Shiraz:

Wears its heart on its sleeve, but there’s no shame in that when it has a proud record of success… 97 points, Halliday Wine Companion

One of the best Commands I've tried.
96+ points, The Wine Advocate

Of the 2017 Barossa Shiraz:

It’s sweetly fruited and inviting on the nose showing dark plum, blackberry, vanillin oak and toasted spice aromas, followed by a succulent palate that’s superbly weighted and intensely flavoured. The wine is supple and fleshy with a lengthy silky finish.
94 points, Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Barossa shiraz served soft, ripe and well made. You get what you come for. Blackberried fruit flavour, coffee-cream oak, whispers of earth and a sound, satisfying finish. It’s dark and bold… Reliable as ever. 92 points, Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front

  Bulk wines deals should be way better than the one posted, especially in these COVID 19 times….

    at Covid19 wine consumption rates, spending $320 per week is excessive for some.

      It's all relative to your disposable income. Some people will drink a $25 bottle every night of the week while others will only have them once a month

  Great wine, worth it. Not much of a deal though.

    Not a great deal but more interesting than another post for 30% off dish washing liquid or 2 minute noodles. I debated posting because people seem to think wineries should be selling at cost price but those who know these wines know it's a good price all things considered

      Yes, I am torn on this sentiment. I think wineries would have to have their heads in the sand to think that their prices shouldn't be dropping with everything that's going on. If the average persons wages have dropped say 20% then doesn't it seem logical that these types of products should drop by this amount or even more given the nature of them being luxury goods. I don't think they should be selling at cost but there needs to be some appreciation that they won't be getting full ask for the next 6+ months.

      I have been drinking more of my better wines lately as in my head the $50 I paid for a wine last year means it's really only a $30-$35 wine today.

        That's some bizarre logic. Wages across the board haven't dropped 20%, there are winners and losers. Unemployment is up, some industries hours are down but there are plenty of sectors without change or a surge in demand. Overall demand for wine may be reduced but by your reasoning you would expect to see every product at Coles drop in price 20% overnight. That's not how the economy works. (It does with fuel prices but that's a different story.)

          @mr fox: The Coles comment supports my argument - these are generally essential goods whereas premium wine is a luxury good. Luxury goods often the hardest hit in times like these. Premium wine is like Gold Coast property not fruit and veg from Coles.

          @mr fox: I think you are delusional if you think the winners offset the losers or even come close to offsetting them.

        If that's the case supply and demand will mean the prices will drop further. I hope for our sake that it happens but equally I don't want these companies to go under, get bought out by Treasury and sold off to the Chinese market under a Penfolds label. I also expect they'll be reluctant to devalue their premium lines by offering huge discounts.

          @biap: Yes completely agree, it is a tough one for the wineries as many around the country have lost their entire harvest in 2020 due to the fires.

  Command regularly available for around $50.

    From Langton's or somewhere else? Langtons had a bunch of failed export 2001 Ashmead's that were going at auction for around $35 - $40 a few years ago that were absolutely sensational. I wish I could still get those

  Yeah not really a deal. You can grab that 2017 shiraz for around $22 after your shopback/cashrewards etc so those 11 bottles are worth say $240.

  As DrRalph noted above, Langtons were flogging plenty of older Command in the $50-$60 range the last few years.

    Cheapest on Langtons today is $68 for an '87 or $72 for an '06 plus premium and delivery you're looking at $90-94 assuming there's no reserve and no one bids against you. Yes, you can pick up great deals at auction, much better than what I've posted, but that's the exception not the rule so you can't set the "market price" around that level plus you are gambling on a bottle of unknown provenance
