Originally planted with vines in the 19th century, our estate vineyards yield fruit that offers a provocative harmony of aromas, flavors, and texture. The warm drought vintage of 2015 brought power and deep black fruit to the wines of Burgess, and the Alpinist shines in this vintage. Fresh and vibrant black and red fruit flavors like blackberry and redcurrant take center stage, accented by oil-cured olive and pink peppercorn aromas, making this wine a fine match for roast lamb and beef dishes.
