LWE Merlot
2015
200
From opening the poetic power of LWE’s flagship Merlot reveals itself. This wine is a true reflection of terroir. As you swirl the wine it eddies in the glass showing a vibrant colour scheme of royal purple and crimson; from the glass waft aromas of cassis, violets and plum with a flutter of crushed juniper.

Cellar for ten or more years if you can and it will reward you many time over, like a great poem. Quite simply poetry in a bottle!
Tasting Notes

A deep rich alluring expression of Merlot. The palate is a revelation of rollicking rolling flavours of blueberry, fruit cake and spice. It lingers, enticing you to reflect, contemplate and enjoy either with food, or friends and family.
Appearance
A vibrant colour scheme of royal purple and crimson
Aroma
Our LWE Merlot stands proud to showcase what this noble grape perfectly encapsulates, with aromas of coffee, toffee and black and blue berries with undertones of fresh cigar box with delicate lifted tones of rosemary and cassis.
