Lake Breeze Bernoota Shiraz Cabernet 2022
£17.75
The wine
Bernoota, meaning camp among the gum trees, is the definitive example of Australia's great Shiraz Cabernet blend. Rich, voluptuous and juicy, with blackberries and plums layered with chocolate mint and smoky oak, the palate carries all of Langhorne Creek's trademark fruit sweetness on soft tannins. A perennial trophy-winner and superb Sunday-roast form.
The producer
Lake Breeze
View all Lake Breeze winesLake Breeze is the Follett family's winery in Langhorne Creek, South Australia, where the family has farmed since the 1880s. Grape growers for generations, they began making their own wine in 1987, and winemaker Greg Follett has since turned Lake Breeze into one of the region's most decorated names.
Langhorne Creek is one of Australia's quiet secrets: ancient alluvial flats cooled by breezes off Lake Alexandrina, producing reds of trademark fruit sweetness, softness and generosity. The big companies have long bought fruit here for their best blends; Lake Breeze bottles it under its own name.
The Bull Ant range delivers the regional signature with charm and value, Bernoota is the definitive Langhorne Creek Shiraz Cabernet, and Arthur's Reserve, a Cabernet blend from the finest hand-picked parcels, leads the line with real authority.
