Medium deep red with youthful edges. Aromas of forest berries, chocolate and earthy, tobacco-like scents combine on the nose to give a complex, rewarding bouquet. The palate structure is taut yet full of ripe fruit flavours. Plummy, black olive flavours are supported by the classic “iodine” note of varietal Merlot. Medium to full bodied with a firm, structured finish, this wine is an ideal accompaniment to rich meat dishes.

The Pyrenees region of Central Victoria is well-known for producing red wines with great colour, body and richness. Merlot can be a difficult variety to grow well, being prone to poor fruit set, but the conditions of our Glenkara vineyard give us a reliable crop each year.
