Description

Great Merlot is as elusive as it is seductive. The Revivalist Merlot comes from the Hickinbotham Vineyard in Clarendon, South Australia and exhibits brilliant aromas of violet, kirsch and red currants, which offset the impeccably long finish and dusty tannins. The resounding freshness and vibrant acid structure ensures this wine is a lively, energetic and mouth-filling expression of Merlot.

This red wine has a powerful bouquet of black cherry, milk chocolate and a touch of bay laurel. Bold flavors of blackberries and barrel toast are enveloped in a lush mouthfeel. Hardly lacking in structure, the wine is incredibly balanced with beautiful acidity and pronounced yet delicate tannin.
