2015 Corryton Park Cabernet Sauvignon, Grant Burge

The Velvet Summit 

This is Barossa Cabernet with its boots polished and its shoulders squared: deep, dark, generous and impressively composed. It opens with cassis, blackcurrant, plum and blackberry, then moves into mint, dark chocolate, coffee bean, earth, liquorice and new leather. There is plenty of richness, but it is Cabernet richness, so the fruit comes with shape, freshness and a proper savoury spine.

The palate is textural and luscious, with chocolate-dusted berry fruit, supple tannins and a long, polished finish. Time has brought the wine into a handsome place, softening the edges while keeping its dark-fruit and Cabernet structure intact. It feels mature, confident and very dinner-table ready, with that classic Grant Burge combination of generosity, depth and Barossa warmth.

For when you want Cabernet with polish, power and a little old-cellar charm.
Pairs with roast beef, spring lamb shoulder with rosemary and garlic, slow-cooked brisket, stuffed peppers, mushroom pie, aged cheddar, or grilled ribeye.
If this wine were… a suit, it would be dark navy velvet, perfectly cut and worn with absolute confidence.

Grant Burge Wines is one of the Barossa’s great modern names, built on five generations of Burge family growers and a deep devotion to the land. The family’s roots in the Barossa stretch back to the 1800s, while the Grant Burge brand carries forward a reputation for generous, expressive wines with regional character at their core. Corryton Park sits within the estate’s premium Cabernet story, with the 2015 vintage drawing on fruit from the Corryton Park vineyard as well as selected parcels from the Barossa Valley floor. The result is a Cabernet that shows why the Barossa is not just Shiraz country: dark-fruited, structured, polished and capable of ageing with real grace.
