Margan Merlot 2018

TASTING NOTES:

The 2018 Hunter Valley vintage was an outstanding vintage characterized by warm dry days and cooler nights. The fruit was cool fermented to preserve primary fruit characters and pressed to old French oak where it matured for 9 months. Constant evaluation during time in barrel ensured that we bottled this wine at the perfect time. True to the variety, this vintage shows plenty of bright mixed berry fruit character. The palate is rich in ripe fruit with a touch of savoury cigar box. The soft tannins rounds it out nicely, adding length for a silky finish.
