Cabernet Merlot

2020 Vintage

The James Halliday Wine Companion has given our Cabernet Merlot a big tick with a 95 point score and the following review.

“Hand harvested 85/15% cabernet sauvignon/merlot, co-fermented. Matured 10 months in 25% new French oak barriques. It takes grit and talent to achieve ripeness and balance in cabernet and merlot in Southern Tasmania in a vintage as cool as 2020.

“Aggressive fruit thinning was one of the many courageous decisions that created this delightful and affordable blend. A core of signature cabernet blackcurrant is perfumed with a wonderful air of violets and structured with an intricate framework of firm, fine and eminently enduring tannins. A benchmark wine with a pedigree and a future.”
