Small Batch 'Bringing Sexy Back' 2023
100% Merlot, 100% yum. Grown by the ‘King of Cool’ Mick Hester in his Boyup Brook vineyard, this wine is an adventure in deliciousness. Plush berries, hints of vanilla and a silky pallet scream good times. They say Merlot is uncool. It's not. It's sexy. It's time to bring it back.
GROWING & MAKING: Merlot grown by Mick Hester, a champion guy, who farms between Boyup Brook and Bridgetown. Mick has always sold his grapes to the bigger companies where they disappear into generic blends; I’m really proud to have put something Mick grows into bottle. Fermented in open fermenters, hand plunged, gently basket pressed and then matured in 3rd and 4th fill American oak barrels for just over a year. The US oak adds subtle hints of vanilla, as well as filling out the palate with a lush roundness. I told you it’s sexy! Bring Merlot back!
Unfined, unfiltered; minimal mucking about. Vegan.
ALCOHOL: 14.3%
