Warramunda Estate Merlot 2021

Pricing

Single bottles minimum order 6 units

Merlot was planted at Warramunda Estate in 2015 on the gentle north-facing slope of the Estate. Q45-14 Clone was selected to accentuate the hallmarks of this great Coldstream site. A deep red claret colour with a nose of blackberries and black currant with hints of brambles and pepper. A very pretty and approachable wine with a soft palate with red fruit cherry, plum and raspberry characteristics of chocolates, truffles with notes of tobacco.

Vintage description

We were kept on our toes in the vineyard with a wet winter and cool, wet spring featuring late bud burst. This was then followed by a hot and dry summer, where ripening was even but rapid. Close attention to maturity was required to ensure we captured the bright fruit flavours and wonderful natural acidity on offer.
