Burton Super Premium Coonawarra Cabernet
The Coonawarra is situated in the South Eastern part of South Australia where it benefits from the unique advantage of porous Limestone under rich terra rossa soil. This well drained and shallow red soil when combined with a cool climate develops wines of great concentration, rare depth and complexity. It is widely believed that some of Australia's finest Cabernets come from the Coonawarra.
These Exclusive Cabernets have been awarded   medals

Grapes grown for the 1999 vintage in the Coonawarra produced ripe berries that have created wines with bright, vibrant and mouth filling flavours.
Two years in both French and American Oak has added great complexity to these grapes to make a truly premium wine.
The Cabernet Sauvignon has a pleasant red colour with a radient hue. The bouquet is fruit driven with integrated complex oak overtones. The rich berry fruit palate is well balanced with a long acid tannin finish.
Now 9 years old this Cabernet is showing the benefits of lower alcohol. It is aging gracefully and offers the wine connoisseur a fabulous example of a middle aged Coonawarra Classic
This wine may be enjoyed now or with careful cellaring will reward with added complexity for up to 15 years

Vintage 2001 was 10 days earlier than normal, with some vines showing reduced acidity. The extended ripening period led to perfect picking opportunities. Yields were good and quality high.
The fruit was picked in the cool of the early morning, crushed, fermented and matured in both, new and used, French and American oak for a period of 20 months. The wine has been allowed to further mature in the bottle for 9 months before its release.
This wine displays an intense bright colour with a vibrant edge. The bouquet and palate shows an explosion of berry fruit with added complexity from both French and American oak to give a wine of finesse and elegance. Its finish is firm and long.
Now 7 years old this wine offers additional complexity that comes from careful storage.This Cabernet may be enjoyed now or when carefully cellared will reward with added complexity for up to 15 years.

2002 was one of the coolest years on record and this led to low yields, wonderful ripe and intense fruit flavours. The wine was fermented in primarily new French oak which gives it a silky mouth feel. The resultant wine is balanced, complex and has a long satisfying finish.
The fruit was picked in the cool of the early morning, crushed, fermented and matured in new French oak for a period of 23 months. The wine has been allowed to further mature in the bottle for 9 months before its release.
The Burton 2002 Coonawarra Cabernet displays an intense bright colour with a vibrant edge. The bouquet shows an explosion of ripe berry fruit with added complexity from the French oak. These characters follow through onto the palate where the silky mouth feel adds to the finesse and elegance of this wine.
Now 6 years old this wine from a great year offers soft tannins and additional complexity that comes from careful storage. It may be enjoyed now or when carefully cellared, will reward with added complexity for up to 15 years.
