2016 Gilded Lilly Merlot

The great 2016 vintage was ideal for the early ripening Merlot. For this vintage we selected parcels from three growers, the fruit was picked at optimum ripeness to generate a little more flesh. This fruit driven Merlot displays a lifted bouquet of mulberry, red plum and cranberry, complemented by floral notes. With the palate delivering ripe cherry, toffee apple, sweet plum notes, with hints of strawberry and bramble, enhanced by subtle vanilla oak. This soft, rich wine is perfectly balanced for immediate drinking.
