Estate Label Merlot 2024

Ripe berry, rich fruitcake flavours and soft, velvety tannins. French and American oak impart dark chocolate, coffee bean and vanilla characters.

Tasting Notes

Nose: The wine has distinct aromas of red and blackberries, plum and mulberry along with savoury spice, sweet mocha and dark chocolate characters.

Palate:At release, this wine is medium to full-bodied with lush red berry, plum and fruit cake characters. The fruit flavours are superbly balanced by the oak's creamy mocha, spice & subtle savoury characters. The palate has a silky, plump texture with grainy tannins through the mid-palate and a long, persistence to finish.

Colour: At release, the wine is a garnet red with an intense purple hue to the edge.
