Shannon Vineyards Mount Bullet Merlot

Shannon Vineyards Mount Bullet Merlot - Different clones of Merlot from a single 3 hectare plot; one clone is chosen specifically for its ‘minty’ nuances. Individual berries are hand sorted before wild ferment, which is left to develop naturally; the wine undergoes the malolactic fermentation and is matured in Bordelaise French oak barrels for about 20 months.

Emphasis on maximising the different clonal expressions means each parcel is vinified and matured separately before final blending. The wine has a fragrance of ripe red fruits such as plums and dark cherries, with earthy complexity and yet still expresses minerality, freshness with a well-integrated ripe and seductive tannin structure.

Sold in cases of six bottles
