Grant Burge Hillcot Merlot 2022

Grant Burge is a pioneer of Merlot in the Barossa Valley. The soft, supple palate has concentrated flavours of red berries, with soft ripe tannins that add balance to the oak and fruit sweetness. This medium-bodied wine is ready to enjoy now, or can be cellared for 7 to 12 years.

Merite Ultra Single Vineyard Merlot 2015

Penley Estate Merlot 2023

Boy, this merlot must be good, don’t give the side eye, we know you only think merlot isn’t cool because of the movie Sideways. It’s juicy, slurpy and uber delicious. Three parcels of merlot have come together to create this modern blend. One fermented in a concrete egg, one as 100 % whole bunch and the final in an open top fermenter. Each piece of the puzzle bringing its own personality to the wine.  Aged together in seasoned French oak puncheons for 3 months. Made by the  award winning team at Penley, what’s not to love.

Mount Eyre Merlot Three Ponds 2021

Our first merlot since 2018, as drought and bushfires precluded making this wine in 2019 and 2020. Open fermentation then maturation in French oak.
