About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of MerlotParcels of the 2017 Cabernet and Merlot were destemmed and crushed to fermenters and inoculated immediately. Ferments were gently pumped over twice daily with selected parcels undergoing extended maceration. Maturation occurs in French oak for 15 months prior to blending. Blended wine was lightly fined for bottling.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.
