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 thee months. Made by the award winning team at Penley, what’s not to love.

”Red cherry, pomegranate, rosella and raspberry leaf tea. Dried bay leaf and beetle leaf, all wrapped in raspberry fruit straps. Even front-palate tannins, which are surprisingly astute. The ripeness of fruit supported by honest-to-goodness merlot character, that maple-leaf feel. This is truly a wine worth investing in. It's drinking like a dream but will age well too. What a wonder.”
