MYSTERIOUS MERLOT
Aged in a 44-hectolitre oak cask, our 2020 merlot develops aromas of ripe plum, spice, roasted almonds with a touch of bourbon and vanilla. On the palate, black berry and black cherry are persisting under light toasted notes and well integrated tannins.

“Nearly three years under the screw cap closure has not tamed the spirited nature of this ardent merlot. Delicate oak spice is finely woven amid the generous black fruit on the mid-weight palate. Tannins are firm but also voluminous contributing stature to this bold offering from a warm vintage made particularly challenging due to COVID. Features notable length and elegant packaging. Best 2024 to 2027
