2021 Reserve Barossa Shiraz, Berton Vineyard
Barossa Valley, Australia
This is bold Barossa Shiraz with dark fruit, warmth and plenty of polish. Blackberry, bramble and fruits of the forest lead the nose, followed by violet, dark chocolate, vanilla, sweet spice and a subtle smoky oak edge. It has the richness you want from Barossa, but the 2021 vintage brings freshness and balance rather than sheer weight.
On the palate, it is dry, full-bodied and generous, with ripe black fruit, velvety tannins and a long, warming finish. French and American oak add depth, spice and roundness, while the best-barrel selection gives the wine extra concentration and polish. A brilliant choice for anyone who loves classic Australian Shiraz: rich, smooth, comforting and ready for proper food.

Berton’s Reserve range is built around matching classic varieties to the Australian regions that suit them best. This Shiraz draws on fruit from Barossa and Eden Valley vineyards, giving both depth and lift: Barossa richness, with a touch of Eden Valley spice and freshness. It is a confident, full-flavoured red from a producer known for generous Australian wines that deliver strong value.
