Handpicked Collection Cabernet Merlot

DESCRIPTION:

TASTING NOTES: The structure, nerve and cassis of Cabernet complimented by the plush fruits and supple texture of Merlot. A timeless blend that is classic Margaret River. Aromas of blackberry, chocolate, bay leaf and cedar, with a full-bodied palate of rich dark fruits & loads of fine tannin.

WINEMAKING: The fruit was picked in cool, dry conditions in late March-early April and vinified in open and closed static fermenters with hand plunging and pumping over. The wine was matured for 18 months in a mix of old and new French barriques from a selection of the best Bordeaux coopers. The varieties were vinified separately and blended before bottling; this wine is 65% Cabernet and 35% Merlot.
