1 SPECIAL REPORT: WORLD WINE AWARDS 2004 Best in Show - International Red Fortified Trophy Grant Burge 20 Year Old Tawny Issue Date: October 2004 Grant Burge 20 Year Old Tawny Grant Burge is a fifth-generation Barossan winemaker and very respected in the Australian wine industry. Grant Burge Wines was formed in 1988 by Grant and his wife Helen. It is based at the historic Moorooroo Cellars, on the banks of Jacob s Creek in the heart of the Barossa Valley. Burge owns a 400ha network of vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valleys, where he grows over 15 varieties. The Grenache, Shiraz a d Mataro grapes for our wine are grown in the Barossa Valley on deep, rich alluvial soils. The Mediterranean climate, with its cold, wet winters and generous spring rains, builds up the reserves of moisture the grapes need to ripen. They are harvested when they re slightly sweet but not overripe. After harvesting and crushing, the grapes are left to ferment on skins in open fermenters. After pressing, the wine is transferred to older oak barriques to mature for up to three years before being blended. We have the finished wine by the Solera method, in which a limited quantity of 20-year-old tawny is drawn for bottling each year before the barrels topped with selected younger wine.
