Merricks Estate 2016 Shiraz (12 Bottles) Mornington Peninsula

by BWM

$420.00

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

A wonderful chance to get a vintage Shiraz that has matured into a ripe, fine Shiraz for only half the price tag of a Peninsula wine.

This wine displays a rich nose with typical cool climate characters of black cherries and plums. This is complemented with licorice and earthy aromas with a touch of pepper to finish. Only 12.5% alcohol

SILVER – JAMES HALLIDAY

“Showing a tinge of development on the rim, this is another fine shiraz from a region generally more known for pinot noir and tensile chardonnay. Blueberry, wakame and barbecue flavours are sluiced with firm pucker of tannin, thrust of mid-palate density and a peppery glide across liquorish, cardamon and five-spice drawn out by bright acidity”.

About Merricks Estate

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.

Since 1982 we have produced high quality wines including Chardonnay, Rose, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Our 55 acre property (10 acres under vine) is a beautiful and relaxing place to visit. Merricks Estate, at the end of Thompson’s Lane remains the unchanged landscape of the unique Peninsula hinterland.
