2020 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Berton Vineyard

Established by Bob and Cherie Berton in May 1996, Berton Vineyard is a brilliantly consistent and high-quality wine producer. The estate covers 30 hectares of land located on gently rolling hills at 450 metres above sea level, in a subregion of Eden Valley in South Australia. The superb Reserve Shiraz and Reserve Chardonnay wines are still sourced from this plot. In 2007, Bob purchased the Yenda winery in the heart of the Riverina. This state-of-the-art facility has the capacity to process 20,000 tonnes and enables Berton Vineyard to produce value for money wines which sit alongside their premium single-vineyard offerings.

The grapes were fermented in stainless vertical sweep arm fermenters for 10 days between 22°C and 28°C on premium French oak until dry. Each parcel of wine was then pressed at 0.5 Baumé through a bag press and clarified via centrifuge into stainless steel storage tanks. The parcels were then transferred into new and old French (90%) and American (10%) oak barrels for 12 months. Only the best parcels were barrel selected and carefully blended to arrive at this exceptional wine.
