Elate Grange Cuvée

A bold yet elegant fusion of gold-medal-winning Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, inspired by Australia’s iconic “Super Rhône” style. This seductive, modern wine marries the structure and depth of Bordeaux with the savory richness of the Rhône and the ripe, expressive character of Australian reds. Layers of dark berry, spice, and soft tannin unfold into a plush, lingering finish. Distinctive, versatile, and effortlessly drinkable.

This wine has a great story behind it. It’s called Elate, and it’s Bill’s personal homage to Max Schubert — the pioneering Australian winemaker behind the legendary Grange Hermitage. Schubert believed in pushing boundaries, trusting your instincts, and imagining something unique in the world of wine. Bill took that philosophy to heart when he created Elate, starting with an experimental vintage back in 2008.

It’s a blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, much like the iconic Australian style, but with a California twist. Bill used ultra-premium mountain fruit, giving it an extra edge of intensity and elegance. The Shiraz here is lush, fruit-driven, with that signature peppery kick, while the Cabernet brings rich blackberry, plum, vanilla, and a bit of tobacco. Together, they balance each other beautifully — the Cabernet adds structure while the Shiraz softens and opens it up.

It’s voluptuous, layered, and approachable even when young, with the kind of depth that promises even more complexity with time in the bottle. Think of it as a modern nod to a classic, built for both food pairing and fireside sipping.”
