Description
"Barrel spice notes are at the fore followed by milk chocolate and plum. The palate is easy drinking with milk chocolate and vanilla flavor backed by lightly grainy tannins" Sean Sullivan, Wine Enthusiast, Jan 2017
Dark plum red in the glass. This Merlot has a rich aromatic profile with notes of chocolate and dark cherries. The complex fruit flavours are followed by a smooth, velvety finish. A good growing season resulted in the wine displaying stellar fruit characteristics and flavours.
Grapes were crushed and then fermented for 6–10 days on skins to extract optimum fruit and textural components. Malolactic fermentation occurred in a combination of stainless steel tanks and oak barrels. The wine barrel-aged in nearly 1/2 new oak for 15 months.
