Trentham Estate Merlot 2023 presents a rich, deep red hue, offering pronounced aromas of cherry and mulberry complemented by a subtle mocha note. On the palate, it reveals sweet plum and spice flavours balanced by delicate French oak nuances. This medium to full-bodied wine features velvety tannins and finishes long and smooth with a silky texture. It pairs excellently with tomato-based Italian cuisine and grilled meats like veal, pork, or lamb.

Winery & Vintage Info

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 2023 vintage was another great season following the ideal 2021 & 2022. The season featured warm, mild weather which was ideal for the vineyards, but the harvest was delayed by two weeks due to cool weather. The vintage has produced beautiful wines with lifted aromatic whites and deep coloured, full flavoured reds.

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