👁 In the Glass:
Bright ruby-red with youthful violet glints.

👃 On the Nose:
Aromatic and generous with notes of plum, red cherry, and blackberry compote. Hints of milk chocolate, vanilla, and a soft touch of herbs and oak spice round out the bouquet.

👅 On the Palate:
Smooth and medium-bodied with plush, juicy fruit. Ripe plum and red berry flavours are framed by gentle tannins and a silky texture. There's a hint of mocha and subtle oak toast, giving extra depth without overpowering the fruit.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Extremely versatile—pairs beautifully with spaghetti bolognese, grilled sausages, beef burgers, or even a mushroom risotto. Also great with charcuterie and hard cheeses.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Made for early drinking, this wine is at its best within 3–4 years of vintage, when the fruit is most vibrant and expressive.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
This Merlot delivers everything you want in an everyday red: soft, juicy fruit, a silky texture, and drinkability in spades. A fantastic choice for casual dinners or relaxed evenings, offering great value and consistent quality from a trusted Aussie producer.
