Mayer Merlot 2023

Mayer Merlot is crafted from grapes grown in the cool climate of the Yarra Valley, Australia, where the temperate conditions allow for a slow ripening process, enhancing the wine's complexity. The Merlot grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation in open-top fermenters to maximize flavor extraction. A portion of the wine is aged in French oak barrels, adding subtle notes of vanilla and spice. This Merlot is designed to be medium-bodied with a focus on ripe plum and berry flavors, balanced by soft tannins and a smooth finish, making it approachable for immediate enjoyment.
