A medium bodied, well-balanced wine. Luscious on the mid palate, driven by upfront fruit. This well-balanced Merlot with soft tannins gives hints of spice and cedar rounding out the palate.

McGuigan Reserve was created to celebrate varietal expression. Premium fruit from South Australia’afinest wine regions is selected to showcase the full flavourand rich diversity found in Australia’s most celebrated winemaking state.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from our premium vineyards within South Australia. This region has a warm growing season with cool nights and minimal rain which allows the fruit to obtain optimal ripeness and flavourdevelopment.

The fruit was crushed and de-stemmed to varying red fermenters where the fruit was fermented on oak at temperatures of 18 –22oC for 5 –7 days. Fermenting at cooler temperatures allows the fruit flavoursto be nurtured and enables retention of varietal characteristics. Post fermentation the majority ofthe wine is matured in stainless steel tanks. Components are then blended, stabilisedand clarified.

Food Pairing: This Merlot pairs well with a range of dishes, especially braised beef cheeks or a vegetarian lasagna.
