Situated on lush gentle slopes in sight of Western Port Bay, Merricks Estate was one of the first commercial vineyards, planted in 1978 by the Kefford family as a trial to explore the possibilities of wine making in an area that was then known only for its farming and horticulture and tourism.
Today, the Mornington Peninsula in Southern Victoria, produces some of Australia’s most distinctive wines because of its cool climate and long ripening season. Merricks Estate produces fine wines, while striving to create a sustainable environment for flora and fauna.
Handpicked prior to being crushed and fermented on skins. During the seven day ferment the wine was pumped over three times a day to gain maximum skin contact. This shiraz was matured in 20% new oak barriques, the remaining 80% in 2 year old barriques.
