Fruit selection was paramount, with only the best blocks being retained for the Lake Breeze label and only the best rows of these blocks on many occasions. The grapes were crushed to small open-top tanks for fermentation, which took place on the skins over seven to ten days. The wine was then pressed straight to new and used French and American oak barriques to complete fermentation, followed by 20 months of maturation. The wine was bottled without fining or filtration.
It is a rich, voluptuous and juicy wine, with aromas of blackberries and plums layered with chocolate mint and smoky oak. The palate encompasses the trademark Langhorne Creek fruit sweetness and soft tannins. This is a definitive example of this classic blend.

| Winery | The grapes were harvested from 40 to 50-year-old vines, which produce richly flavoured, concentrated berries. All the vines are on their own rootstocks, and the soils are generally alluvial sandy loams with some over a clay base. This dry region, situated at the bottom of the Murray River, is irrigated by a weir floodgate system. When flooded, a canoeist was known to be spotted among the vineyards! The vineyards are surrounded by striking, historically important gum trees that still bear the holes once dug out by the Aboriginal Australians to carve into canoes to sail up the river. Perfectly apt for this wine, as 'Bernoota' means "camp among the gum trees". |
