Craggy Range Gimblett Gravels Merlot is carefully selected from the 22 parcels of Merlot in Gimblett Gravels vineyard, individually fermented and crafted, then blended with a seasoning of the two Cabernets and Malbec.
The warm, gravelly soils are perfect for the production of Merlot and the moderate heat allows the wine to retain freshness and structure without showing over-ripe characters.The result is a rich, ripe wine with ample ‘dusty’ tannins and a lush, warm texture similar to other wines made in the area.
Deepest crimson red. Lifted violets and blue fruit with subtle biscuity oak notes. Velvet like tannin structure that carries a long pallet of poached plum and freshly picked blueberries.
