Deakin Estate Merlot
Product Code: 78000
It's a scandal there aren't more Merlot wines in Australia judging by the quality of this effort from Deakin Estate. Who needs Cabernet Sauvignon when you've got this top-class smoothie ready to charm your tastebuds to the end of the bottle?
Tasting Notes : Deep purple, with a bouquet of ripe berries. Full of seductive dark plum fruit, with a swirling chocolate finish.
Producer : Deakin Estate
Method of Production : The fruit was harvested at peak ripeness levels during March and April from vineyards in Murray-Darling, NW Victoria. Following crushing and partial destemming, the grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks for 5 days with pumping over twice a day to extract good levels of flavour and colour. Malolactic fermentation was encouraged and a proportion of the juice spent 6 months in oak casks imparting a spicy vanilla complexity to the wine.

Product Reviews
This is the best red wine we have tasted. It is so smooth and we love it. Try it you will love it.

Silky, smooth, sexy - everything your parents didn't warn you about a red wine. Glug it and luxuriate.
