REVIEW
Product Overview
Sourced from vineyards across the Yarra Valley, this Merlot benefits from extended hang time due to warm days and cool nights leading into autumn. Fruit was harvested slightly later than the long-term regional average, allowing full flavour maturity while preserving freshness.
Following fermentation in overhead fermenters with regular pump-overs, the wine was matured primarily in older French oak. This approach supports the fruit profile without overpowering it, resulting in a wine designed to be approachable and ready to drink upon release.
