Berton Vineyard Foundstone Merlot 2024
£10.45
The wine
Deep, youthful Merlot with expressive aromas of plum, blackberry and violet. The palate is velvety in texture, its generous sour cherry and plum flavours lifted by fragrant herbal notes and a hint of vanilla oak. Soft, friendly and endlessly useful; midweek suppers from pasta to bangers and mash.
The producer
Berton Vineyard
View all Berton Vineyard winesBerton Vineyard was established by Bob and Cherie Berton in May 1996, with thirty hectares of gently rolling hills at 450 metres in High Eden, a subregion of South Australia's Eden Valley. The superb Reserve Shiraz and Reserve Chardonnay are still sourced from that original plot.
In 2007 Bob purchased the Yenda winery in the heart of the Riverina, a state-of-the-art facility with the capacity to process 20,000 tonnes. It is this combination that defines Berton: genuinely characterful, value-driven ranges such as Foundstone and Metal Label sitting alongside premium single vineyard wines from Barossa, Coonawarra and High Eden.
The range runs from crisp Pinot Grigio and unoaked Chardonnay through the cult favourite Black Shiraz and inky Durif to The Bonsai, their flagship High Eden Shiraz Cabernet. Sunshine in a bottle, made properly.
