Merite Q Merlot 750ml

The estate is located in the Joanna section in the Wrattonbully wine region, the northern neighbour of Coonawarra, in South Australia. Mike and his wife, Colleen, purchased land in the Wrattonbully district in 2000. Merlot was of particular interest to Mike, as he felt the region and the soils on the site might well prove to be perfect for it. When newer clones became available in Australia, Mike set about planting the ultimate 18ha parcel with each clone, driven by an obsession to create the country's best merlot. Merite Q Merlot 2016 is made from the Q45 clone and has firm tannins and a different taste. Rich ripe plum with a hint of damson and sweet vanilla spice. The palate is open and giving with lovely soft tannins and nice presence. This wine is giving Merlot its due respect. Now, more than ever, it's so important to support local victorian producers. Please pick up a bottle from around the state & help us to help them.
