Château TanundaDahlitz Merlot
About this product
Dahlitz Merlot is from a single vineyard at the heart of the Barossa Valley. The grapes are grown by former Barossa Vigneron of the Year, Sam Dahlitz and undergo twice daily band-plunging of the cap and pump overs prior to careful basket-pressing to craft a full-bodied wine with juicy blueberry, plum and a hint of chocolate flavours. The extensive finish is framed by elegant, fine-grained tannins from 24
months maturation in French oak barrels.

Fruit expressive and approachable, this tasty merlot shows lovely dark fruit notes with nuances of vanilla, anise, olive and hazelnut characters on the nose. It is supple and fleshy on the palate, offering succulent fruit flavours together with spicy undertones, finishing lingering and soothing. At its best: now to 2024.
