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.

Winemakers Notes

taste
A rich, deep garnet colour with purple hues. The nose is packed with ripe plum and red berry aromas with hints of spice and vanillin oak. The palate is full-bodied and fruit driven, with fruitcake and ripe plums balanced with subtle oak usage. The finish is smooth with lingering flavours enhanced by a trace of spice.

cellar
An easy drinking wine designed for immediate enjoyment.

eat and enjoy
An excellent food wine. Try with lamb, char-grilled salmon/tuna, roast poultry, Italian cuisine (especially pasta with meat sauces), steak and kidney and read more...

Really something different. This is a nice dry merlot with an incredibly fruity bouquet. The taste is unlike any merlot I have ever tried. The tannins are soft, but the finish remains rather long. Truly impressive wine that would be a great conversation wine with friends or family. I will definitely buy more.
