Description
"Brightly fruited and fragrant, the bouquet shows plums and cherries with subtle notes of anise and hazelnut. The palate is juicy and tasty, displaying gentle fruit weight and rounded mouthfeel, finishing supple and smooth. Nicely fruited and very easy on the palate. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2018
Exhibiting aromas of dark fruit with layers of chocolatr and sweet spice. An elegant Merlot with spiced fruit on the palate, generous weight and good length of flavour. Chocolate and berry fruit characters linger with sweet oak finish.
Fruit was sourced from vineyards located in South Eastern Australia, where the climate is hot with high evaporation rates and generally low rainfall, making irrigation essential. Long sunshine hours ensure the fruit ripens fully and low relative humidity results in little incidence of disease.
Picked at their prime in the cool of the night, the fruit was transported directly to the winery where the fruit was crushed and fermented on their skins, delivering the rich colour. The wine was then matured in tank and on French & American oak before bottling.
Food Pairing: This wine matches perfectly with a range of dishes featuring red meats or pork.
