Browse by Grape - Merlot

Bordeaux's second big grape variety, and the one most widely planted in the region. Right-bank wines tend to be Merlot based, with big names such as Petrus and L'Evangile making 100% Merlot wines. Merlot is also incredibly popular in the USA where due to positive health reports on the benefits of red wine, it has been embraced by all and sundry. Merlot of some quality can be found in most wine producing countries, even is it is used simple to soften its bigger brother Cabernet Sauvignon.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
Baking spices, dark chocolate and black, vibrant fruits hint at the power to follow. Complex aromas of pure cassis, meat and oak spice lead to a well-integrated fruit centre with dense, but finely-tuned tannins. This is a wonderful blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Shiraz and 5% each of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot where the components are expressive but well-balanced and the whole is so much more than the parts. Powerful, explosive and medium- to full-bodied with the precision of 2017 shining through to a long-defined finish.
