Winery & Vintage Info

Inspired by our surroundings we reflect on the essential nature of the Murray Darling to create wines of distinction and sustainability.

Merlot is most famous in its homeland of Bordeaux in France. It is an early ripening variety with tannins that are invariably soft, making the wine a good early drinking style.

The 2016 growing season was ideal with warm, dry weather resulting in clean, well balanced fruit with great varietal character.

Once harvested, the grapes were de-stemmed, crushed and fermented on skins for 7 days before pressing. After pressing, a portion of the wine was matured in a combination of new and aged French oak barrels. The wine was then blended and bottled. Winery Notes
