Berton Vineyards Foundstone Shiraz is a full-bodied red wine produced in the Barossa Valley, one of Australia's premier wine regions. The Shiraz grapes are carefully selected and handpicked to ensure the highest quality. The wine is then aged in French and American oak barrels for 12 months, imparting a rich and complex flavor profile of black fruit, spice, vanilla, and a hint of cedar. On the palate, this wine is bold and smooth, with well-integrated tannins and a long, luxurious finish. Berton Vineyards Foundstone Shiraz is an excellent wine to pair with grilled red meat, hearty stews, or strong cheeses.

Tasting Notes

This Shiraz offers an abundance of expressive aromas, predominantly of blackberry and plums along with toasty sweet oak. A generous and concentrated palate offers flavours of blackberry, black cherry and plum. Complex oak characters of coffee, vanilla and caramel complement the full fruit flavours and create a long rich and satisfying finish.

About the Winery

If you are looking for a young wine label that is friendly and authentic at the same time, the Australian wines created under the label, Berton Vineyards are a great choice for you. This label was created in the year 1996 by Bob and Cherie Berton.

The idea of starting their own brand was conceptualized when they purchased a small block of land in High Eden, located in the wine-rich area of Barossa Valley in South Australia. Shiraz and Chardonnay were the first varietals to be planted on this block of land. The year 2005 saw Berton Vineyards investing in a winery to process the 100 tonnes of fruits cultivated at the High Eden Vineyard.

Located at 500m above sea level, these vineyards are known for producing some of the best quality of Shiraz in the entire Barossa Valley region. Though Shiraz is the predominant varietal here, these vineyards also grow other varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Berton Vineyards have many different ranges of wines, and it makes use of grapes from different places for each of these ranges to ensure that the wines are authentic.

The grapes grown in Coonawarra, Swan Valley, King Valley, Yarra Valley and Tasmania vineyards are also used for manufacturing wines from the Reserve and Metal Range of wines. Some of the wines in this range are:

Outback Jack Chardonnay – Made from 100% Chardonnay cultivated in Southeast Australia

Winemakers Reserve Fiano – Made from the Fiano varietal cultivated in the Riverina region

Reserve Barossa Shiraz – Made from 100% Shiraz grapes grown in the High Eden Vineyards of Western Australia
