Description
2022 Chardonnay Reserve, Eden Valley, Berton Vineyard
About the Winery: Berton Vineyard, founded in 1996 in High Eden, is known for crafting expressive, cool-climate wines from high-altitude vineyards. The Eden Valley’s combination of elevation, rocky soils and long, slow ripening enables Chardonnay of purity, finesse and vibrant natural acidity. The estate focuses on hands-on vineyard work and carefully managed oak use, producing wines that balance fruit intensity with elegance and mineral precision. The Reserve range showcases Berton’s top parcels, selected for exceptional concentration and balance.
Grape Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Appearance: Pale lemon with bright green highlights and excellent clarity, showing youthful vibrancy typical of cool-climate Chardonnay.
Aroma: Fresh citrus, white peach and nectarine supported by notes of lemon blossom, subtle toast, vanilla and hints of flint. Lifted and pure with cool-climate focus and elegance.
Palate: Crisp and balanced with lively acidity and flavours of lemon curd, stone fruit, melon and light oak spice. The texture is refined and creamy without heaviness, finishing long with subtle minerality and precision.
Body: Medium-bodied with a rounded yet fresh profile and gentle creaminess from controlled oak ageing.
Acidity: Medium to medium-high, giving tension, freshness and excellent food versatility.
Cellaring Potential: 3–5 years; developing richer notes of brioche, honeyed citrus and nutty complexity while retaining freshness.
Perfect Pairing: Roast chicken, grilled fish, seafood pasta, sushi, goat cheese, tempura vegetables and lightly spiced Asian dishes. Its balance of fruit and acidity makes it especially versatile at the table.
Serving Temperature: 10–12°C to highlight freshness, aromatics and fine texture.
