This flagship wine is a multi-award winning classic and shows Irvine's dedication to this variety. Drawing on their heritage as Australia’s master merlot makers this wine will reward for decades to come.
Varietal: Merlot
Region: Eden Valley, South Australia
Color: Ruby red with pink/maroon hues
Nose: A rich opulent nose showing layers of black cherry, spice and fruits of the forest. In the background there is some lovely mocha and a hint of earthy tobacco.
Palate: Dark rich fruits like blackberries leading to fruit cake. Subtle mint. Firm tannins to finish.
Maturation: The wine received two years in barrel, 30% new French oak and then two years in bottle before release Style: This limited release is rich and opulent in its varietal fruit expression. Approachable now yet will develop in complexity with cellaring.
