The Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon blend is one of the most challenging and exciting wine styles to produce. There is a synergy between Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that, when blended sensitively, produces arguably the most complete, complex, fragrant and satisfying style of red wine in the world. The warm climates and light, stony soils of the Bridge Pa Triangle and Gimblett Gravels Winegrowing District produce low volume crops of concentrated, fully ripe, fragrant fruit that makes for classically structured wines with power, elegance, fragrance and finesse.

TASTING NOTES
AROMAS
A core of dark berry fruit, cherry and plum is lifted by top notes of subtle spice, violet, rosewood and cedar. A savoury, dark, earthy complexity brings a more serious, brooding undertone to the wine.
BODY
On the palate the wine is full-bodied with good mid-palate flesh.
CELLARING
A long, solid tannin structure will soften with time and ensure good
cellaring potential from 2025 – 2032.
