Tasting Notes

Aroma

An aromatic nose of mulberry and plum with earthy undertones.

Maturation

old and new (30%) French oak for maturation prior to bottling.

Appearance

Deep rich dark purple.

Palate

Generous and rich palate of blackberry, chocolate and a touch of spice. Bright acidity and fine, chalky tannins blend into a smooth, lingering finish.

Vinification

Merlot fruit for this wine comes from the Southern Coonawarra sub-district of the Limestone Coast. Following a successful growing season in 2021, vintage conditions in 2022 were again exceptional. Following harvest, Merlot grapes were fermented in a 9T open top fermenter at a cool temperature to increase aromatic retention. Pump-overs occurred daily to express fruit profile and obtain vibrant colour. All parcels completed malolactic fermentation in stainless steel before the wine was barrelled down to a combination of old and new (30%) French oak for maturation prior to bottling.

Vintage Notes

The cool climate of the Limestone Coast growing region (located in the South-East corner of South Australia), and its diverse array of sub-regions, makes it the perfect fruit source for our Limestone Coast Selections. Premium vineyards in each sub-region are selected not just for their cool-climate credentials, but also for their suitability to each variety. The wines are then crafted by our winemakers to a consistent style and quality, which is perfect for everyday drinking or more salubrious occasions.
