Creating the perfect Australian Merlot is no mean feat. This stunning wine, developed and hand crafted by Jeremy Muller and Stuart Watson is made from vines grafted, on Peccavi Estate in 2010, with the 181 clones used by the Premier Grand Crus in Bordeaux.
The Peccavi Estate Merlot is handpicked and handmade on-site in small batches, with the finesse of old-world craftsmanship and new-world equipment. The grapes are then meticulously hand- plunged every six hours or softly pumped over before maturing in the finest French oak barrels sourced from the Saint-Emilion and Pomerol region, for two years, to produce a Merlot in the style of the garargiste movement on the right bank of Bordeaux.
