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.
