| Description: |
Merlot has proved over time that McLaren Vale is well suited to the variety which continues to produce premium quality wines.

The soft tannin in this grape variety adds to the balanced after-taste. |

The wine has been aged in 2 year old American Oak for 6 months. The wine will be best enjoyed over the next 3-4 years. |
