The Geoff Merrill wine making philosophy has been and always will be, to make wine that allows regional, varietal and vintage expression, without excessive winemaker intervention. Great wine is a matter of balance and our passion for subtle, elegant and harmonious flavours in wine is well documented.
“I have been making wines under the Geoff Merrill label since the 1980 vintage and in that time my commitment to releasing wines to be enjoyed at the table has never changed”
Geoff believes in holding his vintage for maturation before release hence this vintage is still available for sale.

The 2012 Geoff Merrill Reserve Shiraz is a deep dense red with blood red hues. The aroma is a Shiraz dream, inviting you to delve deeper into its wonderous blend of developing fruit, earth, spice and oak. These intense characters are beginning to gather complexity and hint at this wines longevity, really showing off the concentration and depth from this very low yielding vintage. The palate is smooth, full, rich and powerful with great flavour and length.
