Tasting Note

Deep brick red with ruby highlights and bright clarity, this wine opens with vibrant aromas of red currant, plum, blackberry, and cherry, layered with dark jubes, fruit leather, and subtle earthy notes of tar and black olive, complemented by hints of spicy, charred oak. The palate is immediately generous with bright black fruits, including blackberry, plum, and cherry, with a touch of licorice, all supported by a firm yet balanced structure. Lively acidity carries the fruit through to a finish of chalky tannins, dark chocolate, and soft, toasty oak, resulting in a harmonious and textured wine.

Product Notes

Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Merlot is a delectable Australian wine, hailing from the esteemed Margaret River region. Holding a distinctive, rich garnet colour, its bouquet boasts an array of blackcurrant, mulberry, leaf and tar aromas. These dovetail perfectly into a full-bodied palate featuring a fine tannin structure. Unfolding in rich layers, the wine offers notes of dark fruits and chocolate, intertwined with hints of oak. Matured in French oak barrels, this velvety, finely balanced Merlot teases the senses, promising a delightful journey of flavour exploration, and a long, satisfying finish. A choice wine for lovers of complexity and depth.
