Following in the footsteps of the Bird in Hand Merlot 2005 - Winestate's "Merlot of the Year" (Aust & NZ).

Bird in Hand

Merlot 2009

This limited release Merlot was crushed into small open fermenters to maximise the flavour and tannin extraction. The wine was pressed off its skins and matured in French and American oak barriques for 14 months

It is deep crimson in colour and exhibits intense aromas of plum, mulberry and violet. The richness and vibrancy of the fruit ensures a long and persistent finish from this balanced and elegant wine.
