A medium- to full-bodied Merlot with intense aromas of coconut, black wine gums and spearmint. It is dense and structured with emerging flavours of sour blackberries, blackcurrants and vanilla. Malolactic fermentation was carried out in 300-litre French oak barrels using 35% new oak, 50% second fill and 15% third fill and the wine left to mature.
