The Rest is Vino

While the Barossa is world famous for its Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon from the region has a growing reputation for depth and elegance. Barossa’s cooler subregions, like Corryton Park, give Cabernet the structure and finesse it needs to shine. Grant Burge, one of the great names of Barossa since the 1960s, has built a legacy around producing wines that balance richness with refinement. The Corryton Park Cabernet Sauvignon stands proudly alongside other celebrated Barossa Cabernets, and the 2015 vintage shows why the variety deserves more attention here.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Cabernet Sauvignon pours a deep garnet with a youthful purple rim and steady, slow legs. The nose opens with classic cassis and blackberry, followed by hints of cedar, tobacco leaf, and a touch of mint that nods to its cool-climate origins. On the palate it is medium to full bodied with fine, firm tannins and a vibrant acidity that carries the dark fruit core. Blackcurrant, dark cherry, and subtle cocoa notes unfold in layers, leading to a long, structured finish that feels both powerful and polished.

Wrap-Up
On the taste scale, this sits firmly in the medium to full bodied, structured, and elegant camp, with a lingering finish that promises cellaring potential. Price-wise, expect it around £35–45 / $45–55, reflecting its premium position. On Vivino, it generally holds a 4.2/5 rating, showing it is well regarded among Cabernet drinkers. Pair it with roast beef, lamb shanks, or aged cheddar to bring out its full character.
