Grant Burge Vineyard Cameron Vale Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 (Australia)

Description

Mulberry, Oak, Spice

Palate has sweet fruited blackberry and cherry with hints of mint combining with slick tannins and a velvety texture. The flavours are long and persistent with the dried spice most prevalent and mouth coating. Wine has moderate density with enticing balance and complexity.

A portion of this fruit comes from a vineyard of the same name which was planted between 1971 and 1975 in a fertile area between Lyndoch and Williamstown. The remaining fruit was sourced from other premium vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valleys. Cameron Vale was the name of Grants mothers ancestors home in England.

After crushing and de-stemming, the juice was fermented on skins for 8 to 10 days, with selected parcels of the Eden Valley fruit remaining on skins for up to 30 days post fermentation. This process has allowed maximum flavour and tannin extraction and added structure and texture to this wine. Post fermentation, parcels of the wine was transferred to French oak for 20 months maturation.
