Geoff Merrill
The Geoff Merrill winemaking philosophy has been and always will be, to make wine that allows regional, varietal and vintage expression, without excessive winemaker intervention. Great wine is a matter of balance and our passion for subtle, elegant and harmonious flavours in wine, is well documented. We believe that maturation, both in cask and particularly in bottle, at our cellars prior to release, plays an important role in achieving this aim. The premium red wines from Geoff Merrill will generally be released 3 years after harvest, while our reserve selection and Henley will be held in our cellars for up to 5-6 years prior to release.
2017 Shiraz JACKO’S BLEND McLaren Vale
WINEMAKERS NOTES
The colour is a very deep red with some youthful purple hues. The aroma shows typical McLaren Vale licorice, ripe berry fruits with savoury wood smoke and a touch of spice. The palate has firm tannin and acid structure with blackberry, leather, white pepper and anise, showing nice complexity, well integrated subtle oak and finishing clean, fruity and dry.
