The Story

Tasting Notes for Mount Avoca Merlot from the Winery

After the Wine of the Year for the 2018 Merlot and other trophies, the 2019 Merlot has won 11 medals at wine shows including Gold and Silvers, so is no slouch!

Colour: Dark ruby red of good intensity with a purple cherry colour and slow legs on the swirl.

Nose: Clean and complex developed aromas of Blueberry jam and plum, fig and a subtle forest floor nuance.

Palate: Clean developing full-bodied flavours of fresh blackberry and warm toasty damson. A soft tannin impression across the palate gives way to a satisfying length of cherry toast and sweet coffee bean on the finish.

Vintage Notes

Cool conditions in early spring enabled a subsequent long growing season. A warm dry summer subsided into ideal cooler autumn conditions prior to harvest.

Winemaking

The fruit is harvested from two clones of mature merlot vines in section A & D on the estate vineyard. Traditional vinification techniques applied with minimal intervention to preserve its regional identity.

Food Pairing: Roast beef or slow cooked lamb shanks with potatoes.

Vicrorian Wine Show - Gold, plus 2 Silver & 8 Bronze

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit - 90 points

“A lovely rendition of the variety, showing ripe apricot, melon, lemon peel and oatmeal notes, leading to a supple palate that's ripe and rounded. Well supported by silky texture and juicy acidity, offering delightful drinking.” At its best: now to 2027
