Yellow Tail Merlot (1.5L, 13.5%)

A 100% Merlot from South Eastern Australia, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 1.5 litre format. It is fermented on its skins in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with oak integration achieved through oak adjuncts rather than traditional barrel aging. The nose leads with sweet plum and dark chocolate, followed by warm baking spice and a faint hint of aniseed. The palate is smooth and fruit-forward with ripe plum and soft cherry, then gentle vanilla and spice with light raspberry undertones. The finish is short to medium, with lingering plum sweetness and a whisper of oak.
