2005 Berton Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Set in High Eden, a region of rugged beauty between Eden Valley and the Barossa, our Cabernet Sauvignon is grown on ancient podsolic soils that offer lots of quartz rock and little other sustenance.
Lovely lifted aromas of violets and sweet blackberry jam herald an intense and complex palate of ripe blackberry and cherry. Fine velvet tannins marry with vanillin coffee oak to create complexity and depth that persists to a long and flavoursome finish.

WINEMAKER James Ceccato
VINTAGE Vintage 2005 was early, warm and quick and produced good yields of fantastic quality. Above average rains led to a spring that brought a serene green beauty. The reds benefited from a gradual autumnal onset and vineyards generally maintained their canopies through picking. The quality of the 2005 vintage is sure to be ranked as one of the best on record, alongside the 2002 vintage.
FOOD MATCH Perfect with roast beef, marinated veal or simply anytime!
