2017 Forest Scent Single Vineyard Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon

$28.00

Our 2017 Forest Scent Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon is made from grapes grown on our own vineyard located in Gruyere in the Yarra Valley. Merlot is dominant in the blend at around 90% with the Cabernet sauvignon adding in some structure. The grapes were harvested at different times to allow each variety to achieve the best possible ripeness. Moderate fermentation temperatures were used for both varieties to enhance the black and red fruit character of the wine. Once malolactic fermentation was complete, the blended wine was aged for 6 months on oak.

Description

Tasting note: A blend of 90% estate-grown Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine has aromas of ripe plum, dark chocolate and redcurrant from the Merlot. The Cabernet sauvignon not only provides blackcurrant flavours but also adds some fine-grained tannins to the blend.

The 2017 Forest Scent Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon should be enjoyed in its youth to take full advantage of the bright fruit aromas and flavours. That said, ageing over the next 3-5 years will only add to the complexity of the wine.
