What to Expect
Merlot has gotten a bad rap as of late but there is no denying the wine's appeal. Packed with deep, dark berry fruit and nuanced hints of cocoa, herb and earth with a soft structure. Its velvety texture makes Merlot instantly appealing and an obvious alternative to similar, more tannic Bordeaux varieties.

Reviews Add a Review
After barrel fermentation in new fine grain American oak, our Merlot was aged in 1yr old oak for 10 months. This was done to preserve the softness and elegance that this Merlot displays. The final blend for this wine had a vast array of different components and oak handling techniques to maximize its varietal definition and complexity and comprises of fruit from Padthaway and McLarenVale, South Australia.
