The 2022 Grant Burge Hillcot Merlot nose is dominated by rich aromas of blackberry, cherry, mint, dark chocolate, mocha and sage. The soft, supple palate has concentrated flavours of red berries, with soft ripe tannins that add balance to the oak and fruit sweetness. A generous, refined fruit structure, this medium bodied wine is ready to enjoy now, or can be cellared for up to 7-12 years.

Winery & Vintage Info

Grant Burge was a pioneer of Merlot in the Barossa Valley and planted the first Barossa Merlot vineyard in the Hillcot Vineyard in 1982. When our first straight Merlot was produced, there were only two others available in Australia, and although there are more straight Merlots being produced now, Grant Burge Hillcot Merlot sits among the top-selling Merlots in its price bracket.

The fruit for the Grant Burge Hillcot Merlot 2022 vintage was crushed into static fermenters and left on skins to extract the colour and flavour of the fruit. The wine was fermented at between 24-28ËšC to retain delicate fruit characters. The wine was matured in a combination of French and American oak for 15 months before being bottled.
