GMH Meritage South Australia, 2018

GMH Meritage has been a firm favourite with Opimian members for many years, and the 2018 will certainly not disappoint. Indeed, winemaker Shane Harris believes it is the best one he has ever made. Intense black purple in colour, it has aromas of cherry menthol and cola cubes. It is medium bodied with quite a light mid palate leading to a firm finish with tannic structure and some juicy fruit flavours. The 2018 is a blend of 33% Petit Verdot, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 17% Malbec. Grapes were grown in different regions in South Australia, namely Adelaide Hills, Limestone Coast and Langhorne Creek.
