Join the Merlot revival, these bottles highlight the grapes charm of being smooth and mellow with gentle tones of plum, cherry, chocolate and dark berry fruits, not as bold as a shiraz but definitely delightfully delicious with the value being hard to beat. Highlights include Barossa's Grant Burge Hillcot Merlot 2021 (RRP $24.99) and Margaret River's Credaro 5 Tales Merlot 2021 (RRP $24) plus more.
