Berton Vineyards Gundagai Shiraz
Australian Shiraz
£19.50
Berton Limited Gundagai Shiraz 2017
A deliciously smooth wine that delivers rich, intense aromas of blackberry, black cherry and subtle hints of toasty oak. Opulent, with juicy berried fruits, a defined mineral character and subtle nuances of vanilla and cedar box, the palate is velvety soft with beautifully integrated tannins and a long, elegant finish. Aged in old oak, American and French, for a period of 13 months.
Ideal with grilled or roasted red meats, barbecue ribs and aged cheeses.
Berton Vineyard, established in 1996 by Bob and Cherie Berton, is located in the Gundagai region of New South Wales, Australia, at an elevation of 350 meters above sea level. The estate spans 30 hectares on gently rolling hills overlooking the Murrumbidgee River. Known for its premium wines, including the Reserve Shiraz and Chardonnay, the vineyard benefits from a continental climate with 706mm of annual rainfall and rich, quartz-speckled alluvial soils. In 2007, Bob expanded the operation by acquiring the Yenda winery in the Riverina, allowing for the production of both premium and value-for-money wines. The estate's vines are planted on their own rootstocks, further enhancing the wine quality.
