A mixed pack of MÉRITE wines. Each mixed pack will contain three bottles. One bottle of 2016 MÉRITE Cabernet and one bottle of 2016 MÉRITE Malbec and one bottle of 2016 MERITE Shiraz Malbec 2016 MÉRITE MALBEC Made from Argentine clones of Malbec that are new to Australia, planted in a cool climate region on classic Terra Rossa over Limestone soils. This wine is sealed under screwcap. “The gist of this wine is blackcurrant, dark plum, choc-mint, and clove spice. It sits at just over medium-bodied with plushness to texture and a lift of breathy sweet fruit following on from soft tannins. Really easy to like, it delivers good concentration, a strong sense of the generosity of Malbec and inherent balance. Lovely drinking." Mike Bennie - Best Buy Wines to Cellar in Gourmet Traveller Wine magazine "BlackBerry, floral, and vanilla perfume, some dark mint chocolate too. Medium-bodied, a good feel to the wine here with a fine grainy spread of tannin, some mouth-perfume with dark juicy fresh berries, nice and bright with a pretty long finish. Thoroughly charming. Watch this space I’d say." 93 points Drink til 2028 Gary Walsh on www.winefront.com.au "Fine domestic Malbec of boysenberry, violet and minty scents, sophisticated in its swathe of moreish, middle-weight tannins and the integration of oak, again, a United Nations of origins (30 percent new). Vanilla, cedar and bitter chocolate find a welcome companion in Malbec’s generous girth. The tannins are this estate’s calling card: finely tuned and on just the right side of grit" Ned Goodwin MW Wine Companion 2016 MÉRITE CABERNET Cellarworthy Cabernet planted on classic Terra Rossa over Limestone soils, with a small amount of our "new clone" Merlot blended in. The 2016 vintage of this wine is sealed under screwcap. "From the 40ha vineyard better known for its plantings of the much-anticipated new merlot clones. The wine speaks persuasively with its attention to detail. It is medium-bodied, the bouquet and palate both impeccably structured and balanced, the oak well handled." Drink til 2041 93 points 2020 Wine Companion "I guess it’s just a matter of getting balance right. So many wines don’t; this wine does. The fruit has been beautifully ripened and has the sweetness of summer tucked neatly inside, and yet it remains dusty and varietal, and the canopy too can be tasted in its leafy tobacco-like notes. It doesn’t just tasted of grapes, it’s reminiscent of a vineyard. Tannin is a fine mesh and its length is sound. It’s pretty much guaranteed that this cabernet will mature charmingly." 93 points 2030+ Campbell Mattinson WineFront 2016 MERITE Shiraz Malbec 93 points Ned Goodwin MW Wine Companion Alcohol sales licence 51406495.
