Produced in South Australia’s warm inland Riverland, this Merlot benefits from extended sunshine hours that deliver ripe, generous fruit expression. The winemaking approach balances extraction and aromatics through a combination of static and rotary fermentation over six days, creating structure while preserving fresh fruit character. At 13.5% ABV, it sits in the classic table wine range.
Nose: Inviting aromas of milk chocolate, ripe plum and bright red berries are accented by subtle cedar and warm spice notes, creating an approachable and immediately appealing bouquet.
Palate: Medium-bodied with vibrant flavours of forest berry, blood plum and red cherry, joined by hints of warm baked red apple. The texture is soft and velvety, with supple tannins that provide structure without weight or astringency.
Finish: Rich and generous, with persistent fruit flavours that linger comfortably and a smooth, rounded conclusion that reflects the varietal’s natural elegance.
Pair this Merlot with grilled lamb chops, roasted vegetable pasta, or a classic beef and mushroom pie for satisfying weeknight dining.
Serve lightly chilled at 16-18°C in a standard red wine glass to highlight the fruit purity and soft tannin profile.
An ideal everyday red for casual dinners, backyard gatherings, or as a thoughtful entry-level gift for those building their wine appreciation.
