Choice clones of Merlot are determined by root stock to maximise flavour variation and complexity. Different clones will reach flavour heights at different times over three or more weeks at vintage. This diversity adds to the complexity and weight of fruit in the final wine. With such perfect growing conditions, the grapes can be harvested at optimal flavour ripeness, achieving wines of show excellent colour, bouquet and palate definition. Vinification is conducted in a combination of static and rotary fermenters under warm temperatures for several days, striking the balance between extraction of fine tannins for structure and retention of bright varietal fruit character, palate drive and fragrant aromatics.
