Merlot is sourced from splendid central Victorian vineyards, hand chosen by the Four Sisters viticultural team on the basis of healthy fruit, consistency and style. Soil types vary from sandy loam soils and clays through to very sandy soils on the banks of Goulburn River. Grapes are harvested throughout the cool hours of early morning, to preserve fruit freshness while retaining all the plummy Merlot varietal characters. The musts are treated to a combination of rotary and sweeping arm fermenters, gently extracting optimal flavour and building the perfect tannin structure. Minimal exposure to oak allows fruit to be the primary feature of the finished wine. Alcohol 14.5%
