McGuigan Black Label Merlot 2024 (Australia)

Description

Oak, Plum, Toast

The Black Label Merlot is ruby red in colour and displays upfront aromas of red fruits with toasty oak. This wine is soft and elegant with fresh red berry characters, generous weight, and good length of flavour with a sweet oak finish.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from their 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 noticeable cooler nights. Long sunshine hours ensure fruit ripens fully and low relative humidity results in little incidence of disease.

The fruit for this approachable, full-flavoured wine was harvested at ight. The grapes were fermented for a period of seven days. After fermentation, the wine was matured in stainless steel tanks and oak prior to final blending.

Food Pairing: A great partner for a range of dishes featuring red meat, pork and chicken.
