The Burge family are Barossa royalty with a history that dates back to 1885 when Grant Burge's Great Great Grandfather, John Burge, immigrated to Australia. Being the 5th Generation Burge, this wine pays tribute to the great impact the Burge family continues to have over the great regions history. The Cabernet Merlot is a wonderfully lush and vibrant wine with typical Barossa notes of vanilla and blueberry all kept in wonderful balance with judicious use of oak.

This wine is made in the traditional Bordeaux style. The Cabernet grapes are a perfect match to the Merlot, filling all the gaps that the other misses, resulting in an outstanding wine that ticks all the boxes great nose, great legs and great palate.

The complex palate reveals itself with style. Traditionally assertive Coonawarra tannins are evident at first, before giving way to a mid palate filled with ripe cassis, olive tapenade and complex briary hints. Fine, dusty tannins give excellent line and length, and are layered with sweet and toasty characters reminiscent of crýme brýlýe. Our unique Double Barrel technique of finishing in aged Irish whiskey barrels has integrated the myriad of flavours and brought extra richness to the palate.

It is intense with the fragrance of red fruits, exotic spices and liquorice - instantly pleasurable. Enjoy over the next three to six years to compliment bistro cuisine, poultry, grilled beef, and relaxed occasions.
