WINEMAKING

Harvest late in the season, the Coonawarra Merlot is often harvested during the day, as the low day time

temperatures are perfect for cold soaking prior to fermentation. The grapes are lightly crushed during cold

soaking and undergo 10 days of fermentation. The wine is then transferred to French oak barrels and hogsheads for 18 months of maturation.

Expert Reviews

95 points

Wonderfully rich and inviting, the bouquet shows dark fruit intensity, spicy oak, clove and olive notes, followed by a powerfully expressed palate displaying richly textured mouthfeel and savoury nuances, finishing long and delicious. At its best: now to 2036. $70.00. March 2020.

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

With a seductive palate of red fruits, blackberries and plums, this Merlot is beautifully balanced on the nose.

Lingering notes of tobacco leaf and spice complement the fine-grain tannins finish this medium weighted wine

with a perfect balance of fruit, oak and acidity.
