Description

Deep cherry red with purple hues, the nose has lifted spiced fruit, plum and blueberry with layers of chocolate and sweet spice. Soft and elegant with spiced fruit characters generous weight and good length of flavour with a sweet oak finished.

The fruit for this approachable, full flavoured wine was sourced from our vineyards in South Eastern Australia. The climate is hot with high evaporation rates and generally low rainfall, making irrigation essential. The climate is also continental, resulting in long sunny days and noticeably cooler nights. Long sunshine hours ensure fruit ripens fully and low relative humidity results in little incidence of disease.

Whilst the majority of the juice for this wine was fermented in stainless steel a percentage was transferred onto French & American oak. Components were then selected, blended stabilised and clarified before bottling.

Food Pairing: The soft velvety texture of merlot makes it a great partner for a range of dishes featuring red meat, pork and chicken.
