Tasting Notes:

Clare Hills Clare Valley Cabernet Merlot 2017 By Neil Pike

Medium to deep red colour with enticing aromas of cassis, black cherries, tobacco initially followed by hints of cedary oak and mint.  The medium bodied palate is rich and quite supple with good concentration of dark fruit mentioned above plus little of the cedar. Perfect with a salumi plate and some pecorino cheese.


Niche Merlot 2018

Vibrant crimson with red hue. Aromas of freshly crush black fruit, chocolate and a mild touch of oak and spice. The palate is round and generous. A succulent mid palate shows lovely plum and some cherry flavours with chocolate creating a rounder finish whilst being perfectly interwoven between natural fruit acid and tannin. Some spice ensures a fresh and lively finish. 


Southern Lights Marlborough Merlot 2016

This cool climate example of the varietal is medium bodied, displays vibrant ruby red to plum hues and is full of tempting berry flavours. It is well structured, showing great fruit depth balanced with a genre influence of oak and pressing softly integrated tannins. 


Bull In A China Shop Merlot 2017

With fine, silky tannins and generous ripe fruit, the flavours range from plums and rich forest berries to the secondary complexity of anise and cedar with gentle, sweet oak lift. Ready to be enjoyed now, it is a versatile wine which pairs well with a wide range of meats; from rare lamb through to roasted pork.


Tanunda Hill Reserve Barossa Valley Cabernet Merlot 2016

Rich dark red with violet in colour. Rich cassis, dark chocolate and red berry on the nose. Soft silky blackberry core with dark plum notes from the Merlot.  Well integrated oak giving a soft lingering finish.

Clare Hills Clare Valley Cabernet Merlot 2017 By Neil Pike

The 2017 vintage was shaped by a cool winter with average rainfall followed by a dry, warm spring and quite a hot December. Budburst was earlier than normal due to the warmer conditions in September and consequently harvest was also very early – we commenced vintage on Feb 9th. Thankfully January and February were quite mild with below average maximum and minimum temperatures experienced for both months. Around 30mm of rain received on 29th January went a long way towards shaping the vintage also. It has probably turned a potentially ordinary vintage into something potentially quite special.

The grapes for this wine were machine harvested, transported to the winery, de-stemmed into open fermenters and cold soaked for three days before fermentation began. The wine was pumped over twice daily during ferment for approx 7 days and this was followed by draining, pressing and then maturation in French oak casks for 14 months before racking and blending. The wine was stabilised and lightly filtered prior to bottling.

Niche Merlot 2018

The fruit was sourced from premium vineyards located in South Australia. We picked in the cool of night when the fruit had reached its optimum ripeness then fermented on skins in static potters and rotary fermenters for a period of seven days to retain as much of the luscious natural fruit flavour as possible. Warm temperatures at the early stages of fermentation along with ta short period of post ferment maceration helped develop soft fleshy fruit and tannins while helping build structure. Following the pressing process, clarification and final blending the fruit was matured with select parcels having contact with old French oak.

Southern Lights Merlot is sourced from an established vineyard in Marlborough’s Southern Valley region.
