Fifty/Fifty South Australia Merlot Cabernet 2023 (Australia)

Description

Blackberry, Chocolate, Spice

Full of concentrated layers of dark berry fruits and cocoa on the nose. Silky smooth tannins lead to a palate that's long and full of succulent dark red fruits making this wine very drinkable.

This elegant blend combines 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, bringing together Merlot's softness with Cabernet Sauvignon's structure and depth.

Sourced from South Eastern Australia, this Merlot is matured in seasoned French and American oak barrels (3–4 years old), allowing the fruit to retain its natural character while gaining subtle complexity. Medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, it displays generous dark berry and plum flavours, complemented by fine, supple tannins.

Sourced from premium vineyards in Langhorne Creek, South Australia, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon vintage experienced approximately 30% lower yields, resulting in greater fruit concentration and intensity. Matured with premium French and American oak, it showcases classic varietal character, with aromas of cassis, dark berries and blackcurrant, complemented by subtle pencil-box cedar, earthy nuances and fine, chalky tannins that are beautifully integrated.
