Tasting Notes for Miracle On The Wire Organic Merlot from the Winery

Nature is a very curious and amazing thing and as vineyard owners in the Central Ranges wine district of New South Wales, we are constantly surprised how well our vines can perform in stressful conditions, with little to no rain. Miracle on the Wire refers to the tiny bunches of grapes that form on our vines each year, as well as to the sighting of the Blue Wren perched up on the wires of our Zeals Vineyard, as this is usually a sign of coming rain and good fortune.

The extensive vineyard is Certified Organic, and adopts natural, sustainable, farming practices to ensure vigorous growth of the grapevines. This wine is rich and juicy, brimming with damson plum and cherry flavours. Medium bodied in style with fine tannins and nicely integarted French oak providing excellent length and structure to the palate. A vbrant wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared for up to 3-5 years.
