Gold Medal – 2022 Langhorne Creek Wine Show   

A standout winery of South Australia’s Langhorne Creek, Lake Breeze has drawn plenty of well deserved acclaim of late, including being named ‘Best Value Winery’ in the 2022 Halliday Wine Companion. Lake Breeze Bernoota has long been considered one of Australia’s most popular red wines and has a remarkable track record of consistently high quality over the past decade.

The 2020 Lake Breeze ‘Bernoota’ is a blend of Shiraz (60%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (40%), carefully selected from old vines on the Follett family vineyard. Matured for 20 months in both American and French oak barriques, the 2020 Bernoota offers dark fruit characters of blackberry and plums, with a hint of choc mint and smoky oak aromas. The palate encompasses all of the trademark Langhorne Creek fruit sweetness and soft tannins. Although extremely drinkable now, it will mature gracefully for the next 10 years.
