Description
We last made our full 5 variety Bordeaux style blend we call “Synergy” in 2004. This medium bodied wine is a blend of 5 grape varieties: Cabernet sauvignon, Cabernet franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit verdot. We are one of the few wineries in Australia able to make this blend.
A mouth filling combination of black currant, bramble and chocolate tannins, this wine lives up to the quality of our 2004 “Synergy” blend. This wine has been “pre-aged” in our winery for you and will develop magnificently with a decade or more of judicious cellaring. With hard cheese in front of the fire or slow cooked lamb shanks, life couldn’t get better.
In the heart of Murrumbateman cool climate wine country, Barton Estate is a small family owned producer of handmade premium Canberra District wines from estate grown fruit .
Our wines reflect the unique place we grow the grapes, the passion we have for vines and wines and the science we bring to the artisan products we proudly make.
Our logo mystifies many: what is it? Our 220 acre property was formerly part of the historic Jeir Station and is also home to the 16 stand, 100+ year old Jeir woolshed, one of the largest and oldest in the Southern Tablelands. The “icon” is a ventilated dome which crowns the roof of the shed and symbolises our commitment to reaching the pinnacle of cool climate wine production.
20 acres of vines are nestled among remnant Yellow Box and Blakely’s red gum woodland in the historic Jeir Valley on carefully selected sunny north facing slopes where frost risk is minimal. The vineyard site is widely regarded as some of the best viticultural land in the district and we firmly believe this is how we produce the highest quality fruit.
