The region of Manjimup is ideally suited to grow Merlot with temperate ripening conditions and deep gravelly loam soils.

Chestnut Grove vineyard has been nurturing this variety for over 20 years with distinct regional character and pedigree.

Forest fruits, dark mulberries, black cherry and confectionary aromas combine with a dusty earthy complexity.

A concentrated sweet fruit core delivers a soft brooding mid-palate, the combination of vine age and ripening conditions.

Designed for immediate consumption but will reward cellaring for the next 8-12 years.
