Description

  • Oaked
  • Cherry & raspberry
  • Subtle cedar
  • Tight tannins

Bright crimson red. Upfront fruit, cherries & raspberries with hints of cedar. A medium-bodied Merlot displaying upfront fresh fruit on the palate, with well-integrated and tight tannins.

Sourced from vineyards in the Murray Darling & Riverland regions, the parcels of fruit were in excellent condition following great vintage conditions. The fruit was crushed and de-stemmed to varying red fermenters where the fruit was fermented on oak at cooler temperatures, before being blended and stabilised to produce the best possible product.

In the winery a cheeky little pig started to make a name for himseld. Random mischevious acts were being encountered, often acompanied by a glimpse of a curly tailed behind scrambling away with the cutest of little snorts. The winemakers could not help but love this little character; so much so that they named a wine after him.

I am not usually a Merlot drinker, but I will be the first to admit this is a lovely wine. Not too dry for my palet. Will definately buy again and at this price it's a total winner.
