Hand-picked from the Napoleone Vineyard, block 4 (planted 1987). 100% destemmed then cold soaked for several days.

After gentle pressing the wine was matured in a combination of 25% new and seasoned French hogsheads for 9 months.

“Ripe plums, hints of cedar and rosemary with fine, dusty tannins”

– Tim Shand, Winemaker

Description

Vintage

2017 is a very promising vintage, that may prove to be one of the best seen in the Yarra Valley in recent memory.

Sourced from the 30 year old Block 4 on our Napoleone vineyard, this merlot is low-cropping and produced in limited quantities. 2017 was a lovely, gentle harvest. Mild days and cold nights lead to bright fruit flavours and supple tannins.
