Description From the family owned Corryton Burge, whose winemaking legacy stretches back six generations to 1855. "Since then, our family has dedicated itself to crafting exceptional wines that have become synonomous with excellence in the Australian wine industry." That family includes legendary figure Grant Burge. Today Trent and Amelia Burge carry on that great tradition at their homestead at Corryton Park in the Barossa's Eden Valley. Their mother grew up in Cornelian Bay, Tasmania, and always wanted to produce wine from her home state. This wine sourced from the acclaimed Coal River Valley – excellent for Pinot Noir – is a delight, with aromas of cherries and Black Forest cake, succulent sweet fruit flavours, delicately edged in oak for a year, giving it attractive savoury notes.
Located at a more southerly latitude than the rest of Australian wine regions, Tasmania has a much cooler climate and the potential to make distinctly different cool-climate wines than in the rest of the country. It was actually one of Australia’s first wine regions to be planted to grapes. The area grows primarily Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc with splashes of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Cabernet Sauvignon.
