Tasting Notes
A vibrant, rounded red with rich fruit and soft tannins, showcasing Australia’s terroir.
The nose reveals raspberry, red plum, and vanilla oak, with hints of cherry and chocolate. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and balanced, with supple tannins, fresh acidity, and flavors of candied berries, plum, and a long, smooth finish.
Food Pairings
Pair this red with Western dishes like roasted duck or mushroom risotto to highlight its vibrant fruit and minerality. For Chinese cuisine, try 豉汁蒸排骨, 燒鴨, 香菇燉雞, 紅燒肉, 醬爆牛柳, or 椒鹽雞翼 to complement its silky texture and savory notes. Ideal for refined dinners or casual gatherings.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve at 16°C with one hour of decanting to enhance aromas. Enjoy now or cellar until 2027 for added complexity, developing deeper earthy and spice notes. Explore our Riverina collection for more Merlot classics.
