2021 K Block
Merlot
A long north-west facing block with clay loam soils. The block has long produced wines with richer flavour and firm structure which is well suited to this clone of Merlot.

Season Notes:
Southern Victoria had one of its cooler years through December to February, and one of the wettest Januarys on record. This slowed down ripening and pushed harvest into the latter part of March. These conditions give elegance and finesse.
Alc/vol
13.5%
Harvested
Hand harvested on 9th April 2021.
Winemaking
The fruit was hand harvested and destemmed into open fermenters. Thoughtful ferment handling was used to encourage balanced flavour, acidity and tannin structure. The wine was blended post oak maturation in November, for bottling in early February 2021.
Oak
Fermented in open pots and matured over 18 months in French Oak barrique (225L) (20% new barriques).
Cellaring
Will drink well now, and will continue to develop further complexity over the next 5-10 years.
Colour:
Lively dark ruby hue.
Nose:
Lifted aromatics of blackcurrant/plum, chocolate and sweet spice aromas with the theme continuing on the palate.
Palate:
Very ethereal, fine silky tannin and
excellent balance.
Food match:
Traditional beef stew
