Patritti Merchant Shiraz

Fruit selected from the estate’s Blewitt Springs vineyard was fermented in static fermenters on skins for seven days, with a small percentage of whole bunches. Following settling and malolactic fermentation in tank, the wine was matured in 10% new French oak puncheons and 20% new American oak puncheons for 18 months. Intense nose of blue and black fruits intermingles with toasty oak and a touch of flint.The palate is full bodied but round and approachable. The tannins are fine and balanced and work perfectly with deep plum flavours.
