Oxford Landing South Australia Merlot 2022 (Australia)

Description

Chocolate, Raspberry, Spice

Roll out the red carpet for this mesmerising Merlot and its raspberry aromas. Add a touch of milk chocolate, spice and a distinct savoury edge and you’ve got an alluring wine on your hands. Maroon in colour with purple hues. Aromas of chocolate, plum and bright red berries with subtle cedar and spices. A mediumbodied wine with vibrant flavours of plums and red cherry. Although tightly structured, the finish is rich and generous with persistent fruit flavours. Soft, velvety tannins are a feature of the supple palate.

Fermentation was carried out in a combination of static and rotary fermenters under warm temperature conditions for six days. This creates balance between extracting the appropriate tannins for wine structure, and retaining fruit flavour and aromatics.

Food Pairing: Roast lamb with caramelised roast vegetables or Moroccan spiced curry would be a lovely accompaniment.
