Adelaide Hills merlot is a rare bird, but it certainly sings a pretty tune. Winemaking is spot on, delivering complexity of flavour within a relatively modest, medium-bodied framework. Aromatics shine - dark rose, violets, florals - mixing with blackberry, pomegranate and a subtle herbaceousness. Lingers long. Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion
Food Matches: This wine is best served as an aperitif or alternatively would perfectly accompany a variety of Steak and Lamb dishes.
Winemaking Notes: After harvesting in late April, the fruit was destemmed and chilled prior to inoculation and fermentation in half-ton open fermenters for 14 days at slightly lower temperatures to retain maximum aromatics and varietal flavours. After fermentation was finished, the must was gently basket pressed into French oak, where it was aged for 12 months. During the aging process, the wine is racked three times and bottled without any fining or filtration.
