Regional Information
The fruit is selected from vineyards in the Murray Darling, Limestone Coast & Riverland regions. The climate is hot with high evaporation rates & generally low rainfall making irrigation essential. The climate is also continental, resulting in long sunny days and noticeably cooler nights. Modern viticultural & winemaking techniques mean that the climate can be seen as one of the region's strengths
Current Vintage
2018
Vinification Details
The fruit was crushed and de-stemmed to varying sizes & styles of red fermenters where the fruit was fermented in oak at cooler temperatures of 18 - 22oC for 5 - 7 days. Fermenting at cooler temperatures allows the fruit flavours to be nurtured and enables retention of varietal characteristics. Post fermentation the majority of the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks with a percentage of the wine transferred into French & American Oak.

Dreadful \- not even a good vinegar

I am a Merlot drinker by preference and have covered a wide range both in producers/countries/prices I have purchased this once before and found it fairly acceptable, so whether this is just a bad batch I have no idea. It appears to be very acidic and leaves an unpleasant aftertaste. I wouldn't even suggest sprinkling it over fish & chips :)

very light and easy to drink

This wine's come as a substitution. It is easy to drink on its own or I enjoy with a piece of Gruyere cheese. I just wish Morrisons was updating the vintage of each wine on the website more accurately. Mine is 2019. I find this is a good wine for the price.

Plums, damsons, blueberries, loveliness

Everything you expect from a good Merlot at a cheap price. As Pop Larkin would say, "Perfick".
