Description

An exciting new blend that captures the best attributes of both varieties. The wine has vibrant crimson red colour that is indicative of the appealing character of the wine. The aromas are dark cherry, blackberries, nutmeg with fragrant bay leaf and rosemary notes. The palate is lively, exhibiting intense forest fruit flavours wonderfully offset by spicy oak and a background of aromatic dried herbs. Established by Bob & Cherie Berton in May 1996 with 75 acres. The heart of Berton Vineyards is their own personal plot in a sub-region of Eden Valley in South Australia. This idyllic property sits at 450m above sea level on gently rolling hills – except for the Chardonnay block which is anything but gentle!! The first vines were planted in that spring – ten acres of Shiraz and seven acres of Chardonnay – but without any permanent water. It was not until 1998, after the new dam was filled, that the vines finally had a decent drink!!! With all this, the vines struggled through their impressionable years. Lots of love and attention, but the lack of water really retarded their growth, so much so that a Swedish friend jokingly told them that they had planted a bonsai vineyard….the name stuck and later became the name of their premium Shiraz. With the good rainfall in High Eden, the vines are in great condition these days, but they still remember the early days every time they open a bottle of the Bonsai. Food Recommendations:- Perfect with spicy lamb dishes served with lightly grilled Mediterranean vegetables.
