2016 Majella Coonawarra Merlot
Fermented in 300l French oak, mature for 15 months. Trophy for Best Merlot, Limestone Coast Wine Show ’17. Bright crimson-purple, and distinctly fragrant, the palate no less expressive with its mix of red berry and cassis fruits. Shows the benefit of partial barrel fermentation with the texture and integration of the oak. A major success. 14.5% alc. RRP $30 / 2030 / Majella ★★★★★ majellawines.com.au
