January 1st, 2022Wine Notes

JOHN Burford is the owner/operator of Limestone Track Vineyard near Guildford.

The vineyard was established by the Burford Family with the first plantings being cabernet sauvignon in 1989. Soon followed plantings of shiraz and later chardonnay, merlot, and a small block of tempranillo.

“Located near Guildford, the warmer climate is more suitable to the red varieties we grow, providing fruit at optimum levels to enable us to provide quality wines,” John said.

“My favourite wine in the winter months is our cabernet sauvignon. A full-body wine with a fruity bouquet, rich berry characters and soft tannins on the pallet. To be enjoyed over dinner with friends near a nice glowing fire to keep warm.

“Our rosé is also extremely popular, and every year we sell out well before summer ends. This wine is made from cabernet sauvignon and a small amount of merlot fruit.

“During these stay at home, isolated conditions that we are currently experiencing, we are open by appointment for purchases only so please check our web site www.limestonetrack.com for contact details or our Facebook page. We offer free delivery in the local region for a minimum of six bottles.
