The Viognier grapes come from the Foleys Corner vineyard site, planted by Joe and Frank Sergi – who have been supplying fruit to Berton Vineyards for nearly 20 years. The Riverina is a pioneering wine area established in the late 1800s but began thriving in the post-World War Two era when many Italians migrated and started setting up small vineyards. Many international varieties such as Merlot, Chardonnay, and Shiraz were planted back then. Viognier was planted in 2006 and remains one of the area's few plantings of this variety. This vineyard is planted with Ramsey rootstock on a single wire trellis with vines spaced 1.8m apart, allowing for mechanical harvesting to retain the quality of the fruit. The vines are drip irrigation if required. Berton Vineyards is part of the Sustainable Winegrowers of Australia and promotes sustainable cultivation in its vineyards.
