Merricks Estate Pinot Noir 2018 (12 Bottles) Mornington Peninsula

by BWM

$441.00

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The 2015 vintage displays aromas of sweet cherry and plum entwined with earthy notes, rich clove and cinnamon spices. Fine tannins and fresh acidity balance and linger, with a hint of white pepper on the finish. Pinot noir is a thin skinned grape that needs to be treated with great finesse and respect.

Handpicked and gently destemmed before partial whole berry fermentation in open Fermenters. The must was hand plunged frequently to produce the deeper colours and aromatic flavours. Then pressed off skins and maturated in French oak barriques.

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.
