This Coonawarra Merlot is recognised as a benchmark for both the variety and the region. This is a flavoursome Merlot with full flavours of ripe plums and round, long tannins that provide persistence and length. It retains elegance and finesse.

James Halliday rates this as “one of the most consistent merlots around”. A consistent recipient of top wine show awards and glowing reviews, this delicious Coonawarra merlot has classic structure, displaying intense blackberry, cherry and mulberry fruit flavours with spice and fine, ripe tannins. Superb balance and length. An excellent match with lamb or pork. Will cellar gracefully for up to a decade.
