Kevin's comments: Opal Ridge Gewurztraminer Verdelho is a wine which combines the aromatic Gewurztraminer with the fuller bodied Verdelho to produce a vibrant and fresh tasting wine, medium in style.
OPAL RIDGE, GEWURZTRAMINER VERDELHO
Berton Vineyards is located near the village of Eden valley, in High Eden a sub region of the Eden valley in South Australia. This is a region of rugged beauty straddling the ridge that is the divide between the Edne valley and the Barossa. At this altitude, the cool climate provides ideal conditions for the production of high quality fruit.
Berton Vineyards was established by Cherie and bob Berton in 1996. Since then the company has expanded to include Chief Winemaker James Ceccato, Finance Director Jamie Bennett, Sales Director Paul Bartholomaeus and Business Manager Rachel Wood. Bob Berton is managing director. All have a long experience in the wine industry and who, together with Bob and Cherie, constitute a close knit and determined team.
