From fruit sourced in the Padthaway sub region of the Limestone Coast of South Australia and carrying some serious bling from Melbourne Royal Wine Awards and the Riverina Wine Show. Note, Berton have just rolled to the 2023, but there will be plenty of this out there.

Berton Vineyards, Metal Label, Sauvignon Blanc, Padthaway, 2022

Archetypical and punchy varietal nose of gooseberry, box hedge, passionfruit creme, orange cream biscuit filling with some minerally gunflint and fresh cut green capsicum. Full and generous with plenty to offer up front with richer, creamy tones before dovetailing neatly into a zippy and zesty tail that carries a lot longer than expected. Absolute bargain.
