Pack Contains: 6 x 750mL bottles of The Château Single Vineyard Merlot 2024

The Château Single Vineyard Merlot 2024 is from a select parcel of Merlot grown in the Eden Valley’s cool climate, which was identified by our wine tasting panel for its exceptional varietal character and complexity.

WINEMAKING
The grapes are destemmed but not crushed, and spend seven days on their skins in open fermenters with regular battonage to more gently extract colour, flavours and tannins.

Following fermentation, the wine is carefully basket-pressed before maturation in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barrels for 10 months.

TASTING NOTES
The Château Single Vineyard Merlot displays deep, rich purple and red hues.

The bouquet has lifted aromas of baked plums, blackberry, and Middle Eastern spice on a velvety smooth palate with hints of cedar and musk. Medium bodied, the extensive finish is framed by elegant, fine-grained tannins from 12 months’ maturation in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barrels.
