What We Offer

Suger Australian Merlot 2021 – 12 Bottles

Vintage Conditions

The 2021 growing season in South Eastern Australia was marked by moderate temperatures and well-timed rainfall, supporting healthy vine development and slow, even ripening. These favourable conditions allowed Merlot grapes to develop vibrant fruit concentration, balanced acidity, and soft tannins. The result is a wine that expresses both varietal purity and regional character, with depth and approachability.

Winemaking

The winemaking process focused on highlighting Merlot’s natural softness and fruit generosity. Fruit was harvested in the cool of the morning to retain aromatic intensity and was gently fermented in stainless steel to maintain freshness. Gentle extraction techniques were employed to preserve the wine’s plush texture. A portion of the wine saw time with oak influence, which added a layer of mocha and spice without overshadowing the fruit.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Mid to deep plum with vibrant clarity.
• Aroma: Dark cherry notes are front and centre, intertwined with gentle spice and hints of mocha oak.
• Palate: Plush and smooth, the palate carries flavours of ripe summer berries and juicy plums. Subtle oak adds complexity, while the finish lingers with soft fruit and gentle spice, making it both rich and easy to enjoy.

Food Pairing

This Merlot complements a wide range of comforting dishes. Enjoy it with roast duck, chargrilled sausages, or creamy mushroom pasta. Its soft structure also makes it a perfect pairing for semi-hard cheeses like Edam or Havarti. For a relaxed evening, try it alongside a tomato and herb-based pizza or Mediterranean lentil stew.
