This is a full-bodied Cabernet Merlot with notes of dark red fruits, spice and cedar. The flavours are well integrated and balanced, with hints of toasty tannins lingering for good length in the mouth.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from our vineyards in South Eastern Australia. The climate is hot with high evaporation rates and generally low rainfall, making irrigation essential. The climate is also continental, resulting in long sunny days and noticeably cooler nights. Long sunshine hours ensure fruit ripens fully and low raltive humidity results in little incidence of disease.

The fruit was crushed and de-stemmed to varying sizes and styles of red fermenters where the fruit was fermented on oak at cooler temperatures of 18-22c for 5-7 days. Fermenting at cooler temperatures allows the fruit flavours to be nurtured and enables retention of varietal characteristics. Post fermentation the majority of the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks. Components are then selected, blended, stabilised and clarified.
