The Merlot fruit is hand-picked from the Strathewen Hills and Arthurs Creek vineyards. As a varietal (single grape) wine, this Merlot is a soft, velvety wine with plum flavours. This wine shows notes of caramel, chocolate, coffee bean and vanilla. Softer, fruitier Merlots go well with dishes like salmon, or any dish with mushrooms. Drink now or cellar for several more years. This is a stand out wine!
