Description

Tasting Notes:
Fruit:
The fruit is sourced from our small Merlot vineyard in the Geographe Region of Western Australia. This vineyard is established on Tuart sandy loam soils and receives cooling breezes from the Indian Ocean. The 2005 vintage was characterised by a moderate winter and a warm summer. The grape bunches on the vines were thinned to restrict the yield at harvest to four tonnes per hectare.

Oak Maturation:
Ten months in French oak barrels to allow the natural expression of the fruit in the wine and good integration into the wine.

Colour:
Superb red/purple tones, bright and vibrant, medium bodied wine.

Bouquet:
Soft and scented with varietal aroma, violets, earth, chocolate and a hint of tobacco, clean tight and well integrated.

Palate:
A medium bodied approachable wine, seamless structure, fleshy mouthfeel, harmonious silky tannins with a lingering fresh finish. The oak is well integrated into the wine.

Cellaring Potential:
Up to seven years from vintage.

Overall:
A characteristic and elegant Merlot.

Matching Cuisine:
This Merlot will match strongly flavoured fish dishes, pasta, white and light red meat dishes.
