This wine is a reminder of the special bond between the family and Tasmania.
Cool climate Tasmanian Pinot with typical floral and red berry flavours.
Sourced from the Coal River Valley region where the cool climate terrior produces classic and prestigous Pinot Noir.
Virbrant red / purple in colour, a signature of the outstanding 2019 vintage. Aromas of intense cherry and raspberry are tinged with a hint of rose petal. A well concentrated and fruit dominant wine showcasing red cherry and strawberry fruit flavours, delicate tannins and a supple finish.

93""Tasmania and the Derwent River might seem a world away from the Burge family home in the Barossa but there is a personal connection, with Trent and Amelia’s mother Helen growing up in the island state. And the wine is a stylish example of Derwent Valley Pinot. It shows fragrant and generous fruit aromas – dark cherry, dried strawberry and cranberry providing a pretty start. The wine then takes on a more serious persona on the palate with brooding, savoury earthy and spicy fruits with good energy supported by silky tannins and drying acidity for a lingering finish. You get the impression this wine would show its best with gamey dishes such as barbecued quail.""

92""Deepish purple/red colour, with a vanilla, milk chocolate aroma overlying sweetly-ripe cherry and raspberry. Oak sits out a bit. The palate is bright, fresh and vital, with good driving acidity in harmony with the generous fruit flavour. Long palate. A lovely drink, and worth keeping a while. It's fairly straightforward now but has the makings to build complexity with time.""

James Halliday's Wine Companion
91""Matured 14 months in French oak barriques (25% new). Cornelian Bay on the Derwent River was the home of Helen Burge, but confusingly is not the home of this wine (sourced instead from the Coal River Valley). Red cherry and candied strawberry fruit meets thyme and sage. Savoury notes of beetroot are heightened by briary tannins. A balanced style of medium-term promise.""

Australia
Australia's wine industry is a thriving part of the country's economy, contributing significantly to employment, production, export, and tourism. In fact, the industry is the fourth-largest wine exporter in the world, shipping out 760 million liters of wine to countries including France, Italy, Spain, and the UK. One of the key factors contributing to Australia's success as a "New World" wine producer is the formal export and marketing of its wines through Wine Australia.
Australia's wine regions are scattered across the south and southeast, with almost every state boasting its own vineyards. Victoria, for example, is home to an impressive 21 wine regions. Some of the most famous wine regions in Australia include Margaret River, Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Eden Valley, Clare Valley, Hunter Valley, Yarra Valley, and local regions to New South Wales such as Cowra, Southern Highlands, and Mudgee.
Australian winemakers are known for producing a diverse range of grape varieties, with Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Noir being among the most popular. They tend to focus on producing wines that are ripe, fruit-forward, and easy to drink, using modern winemaking techniques and equipment such as stainless steel tanks and temperature-controlled fermentation.
With its bold, fruit-driven flavors and reputation for quality and diversity, Australian wine has become a popular choice for wine lovers around the world. And with such a broad range of wine regions and grape varieties, there's something for every palate to enjoy.
Tasmania
Apart from being the most southerly wine region in Australia, Tasmania has among the coolest growing subregions with the potential to make distinctly different wines than in the rest of the country.
Most well known for cool-climate varietals like Pinot noir and Chardonnay (thus sparkling too), Sauvignon Blanc smaller plantings of Riesling, Cabernet and Pinot Gris (more commonly Pinot labelled Pinot Grigio)
Historically, Tasmania can lay claim to being the founder of both the Victorian and South Australian wine industries as William Henty sailed from Launceston to Portland (in Victoria) in 1834 and planted grape cuttings there. Though not conclusively proven, it's believed that John Hack planted vines in South Australia in 1837, closely followed in 1838 by John Reynell.
Warmer vintages (possibly attributable to global warming) has had positive effects on region's industry, allowing grapes in recent vintages to achieve full phenolic ripeness, making for vibrant wines that have been widely accepted as world class.
About the brand Corryton Burge
The Burge family name is synonymous with the Australian wine industry. The launch of Corryton Burge by the 6th Generation Brother and Sister duo; Trent and Amelia Burge is the next step in the families' winemaking journey. The brand is built upon the rich history surrounding the family property, Corryton Park Homestead. Built in 1845, the vineyards were first planted in the 1851. As a young boy astride his horse, the duo' s father, Grant would often have cause to venture past the majestic old homestead. He had always admired the elegant, Georgian home with its picturesque gardens, surrounded by rolling hills, and daydreamed of one day living there. Some years later while courting his future wife Helen, Grant found himself once again transfixed by the property. He proclaimed that should the opportunity ever arise, he would buy Corryton Park for her and their future family. Fast forward just a few more years and Corryton Park had two new and very happy owners. While Grant turned his attention to replanting the vineyard, Helen focused on resurrecting the ageing estate to its former glory. Now, Corryton Park Homestead is the central place the family comes together, family weddings and milestone birthdays amongst the events celebrated there. It is a place where friends and family come together to share the joy of wine and has become the centrepiece of, and inspiration behind, Corryton Burge wines. Our roots stretch back six generations to one of the original settler families of the Barossa Valley. Wine isn't just something we make, its part of who we are. We don't work in the industry, we live it. Every single day. With Corryton Burge, we haven't just made great wine, we've put our heart and soul into it.
