Description
Red Wine by Clarendon Hills from McLaren Vale, Australia. The grapes for our Brookman Merlot were handpicked from low-yielding, dry-grown old vines and gently destemmed before undergoing whole berry fermentation. We used wild yeast fermentation to increase the retention of the grape’s varietal essence and minimize bitter tannin extract. All pressings are returned to the barrel and bottled onsite without fining or filtration. This wine aged for 18 months in tight-grained French oak barrels, of which 85 percent were new and 15 percent were between one and four years old. Opens with aromas of black currant and chocolate framed by earthy truffle and floral notes.
