A chillable red of 85% Merlot and 15% Semillon from the Wandoo vineyard in Orange, NSW, Australia’s only wine region defined by altitude. The vineyard sits at 700 metres on granite soils and is farmed sustainably. The cool climate gives Merlot a brightness and perfume rarely seen from warmer regions.
Made semi-carbonic, a whole bunch technique loved by natural winemakers for its juicy, crunchy fruit. Some of the parcel was pressed and the juice run over the remaining whole bunches, which then fermented gently for 20 days with wild yeast. It aged for six months, mostly in stainless steel with 15% in old oak puncheons, and was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Raspberry, red plum and violets ride over soft, light tannins.
Give it 30 minutes in the fridge before serving. Born to chill!
