2010 Merlot
Colour
Deep red with purple rim
Bouquet
Plum and mulberry with hints of violet and spicy French Oak.
Palate
Beautifully soft and fruit driven wine showing flavours of sweet plum and blackberry with a full, rich texture and velvety tannins.
Winemaking
The fruit was picked in the cool of the night then fermented on skins in static potters and rotary fermenters for a period of seven days to retain as much of the luscious natural fruit flavour as possible. Warm temperatures at the early stages of fermentation along with three days of post ferment maceration helped develop soft fleshy fruit and tannins while helping build structure. The fruit was matured with select parcels having contact with old French Oak.
Cellaring
Drink now, but will mature and develop complexity over the medium term.
