Product Description

Country- South Africa
Region- Walker Bay

Barton's vineyards at latitude 34 degrees south are some eleven kilometres from the South Atlantic coast in the wine ward of Walker Bay. Planted on the south slopes of the Kogelberg mountains 190 metres above sea level they absorb the cooling sea breezes from Walker Bay. The frost free, cool climate and southerly aspect induces a slow and extended grape ripening period and consequent good colour and tannin formation for the red wines and concentrated fruit and acidity for the white wines. The sub soil is gravelly sandstone interspersed with quartz, ironstone and clay.

Barton's logo is the threatened Blue Crane which breed on the Vineyard. For every bottle sold; Barton make a donation to the Overberg Crane Group which promotes the conservation of the Blue Crane within the Overberg. For further infomation visit: www.bluecrane.org.za/
