Yalumba Merlot

The merlot has an inviting crimson colour. Classic varietal aromas of black currants, spiced fruit cake, violets and vanilla lead to a medium bodied palate with flavours ranging from fruit cake to black cherry with very fine almost velvet tannins. The generous fruit flavours give the wine a fleshy, supple appeal that the variety is so well known for . Serve with seared Kangaroo fillets, red currant reduction and sweet potato mash. The grapes were fermented in static potter and rotary fermenters. Warm temperatures at the onset of Fermentation and also 3-5 days post ferment maceration hashelped extract soft fleshy tannins and build wine structure.
