Description

Berton Vineyard Reserve Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

Vineyard

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes come from a vineyard located in the world-renowned Terra Rossa region of Coonawarra. One parcel comes from an elevated part of the vineyard, which produces more subtle fruit characters. The warm days here are moderated by the cooling breezes of the Southern Ocean. The famous red soils are rich red loam over free-draining limestone soil and are responsible for Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon’s esteemed reputation.

Winemaking

• After harvesting, the parcels were fermented in rotary vinomatic fermenters for 8–10 days at temperatures between 24°C and 30°C on premium French untoasted and toasted oak chips.
• The wine was gently pressed at 0.5 Baumé through a bag press into stainless steel tanks and fermented to dryness.
• Following malolactic fermentation, each parcel was clarified by centrifuge.
• The wine was then transferred into a combination of new and old French and American oak barrels for maturation.
• After 14 months, only the best barrels were selected and carefully blended before bottling.
• Berton Vineyard Reserve Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 100% Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon.

Berton Vineyard: Established 1996

Berton Vineyard was founded in May 1996 by Bob and Cherie Berton with an initial 75 acres (30 hectares) of gently rolling vineyards planted at 450 metres above sea level in the cool, high-altitude sub-region of High Eden, South Australia.

In 2005, with production reaching around 100 tonnes from their High Eden vineyard, Bob and Cherie made the strategic decision to purchase a winery. They partnered with Jamie Bennett and James Ceccato to acquire the former Southcorp facility in Yenda, New South Wales. The move to the new winery was completed in 2007.

Today, Berton Vineyard operates a state-of-the-art winery with a crushing capacity of 20,000 tonnes. This modern facility enables the team to produce high-quality, value-for-money wines from some of Australia’s most renowned wine regions, including Coonawarra and Adelaide Hills, alongside their premium single-vineyard and estate-grown offerings.

Berton Vineyard is a Member of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia.
