Crossword Genius

Sort of wine of earlier vintage? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elder

This clue is a double definition.

'sort of wine' is the first definition.
(elder wine)

'of earlier vintage?' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for elder that I've seen before include "White-flowered tree" , "Older person - one's senior" , "Shrub - church official" , "sort of statesman" , "Berry-bearing shrub" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
