Opal Ridge Shiraz Cabernet Berton Vineyards 2020 6 bottle case
Established by Bob & Cherie Berton in May 1996 with 75 acres of land at 450m above sea level on gently rolling hills in a sub-region of Eden Valley in South Australia. The superb Reserve Shiraz and Reserve Chardonnay wines are still sourced from this plot. In 2007 Bob purchased the Yenda winery in the heart of the Riverina. This state of the art facility has the capacity to process 10,000 tonnes, and allows Berton Vineyards to produce value for money wines which sit alongside his premium single vineyard offerings.

Tasting Note
Opal Ridge Shiraz Cabernet displays peppery, plum and violet characters balanced with subtle oak; a flavoursome wine that is soft and smooth.
