A soft and flavoursome Cabernet Merlot, lifted by aromas of blueberries, red fruits, hints of vanilla and spice. A fruit driven wine, with a luscious, juicy mid palate. Well balanced soft tannins give a wine with good length and a rounded, smooth finish.

Crafted by the McGuigan Winemaking team to offer consistency, quality and value. The Private Bin series has been inspired by the McGuigan family tradition to always share a special family wine with their guests.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from our vineyards in South Eastern Australia. The climate is hot with high evaporation rates and generally low rainfall, making irrigation essential. The climate is also continental, resulting in long sunny days and noticeably cooler nights. Long sunshine hours ensure fruit ripens fully and low relative humidity results in little incidence of disease.

The Cabernet Merlot grapes were picked just as the flavours were at their prime. The fruit was crushed to varying red fermenters where the fruit was fermented on oak at cooler temperatures, to create the rich colour and flavours . The wine was then matured in a combination of stainless steeltanks and on oak, before filtering and bottling.

Food Pairing: This Cabernet Merlot pairs well with a range of dishes, especially indulgent slow cooked lamb or a vegetarian tagine.
