Description
Hamelin Bay is in the (cooler) Karridale sub-region, in the southern parts of the Margaret River region. The estate is owned by the Drake-Brockman family who have long pioneering roots in the area dating back to early settlement by the Bussell family in 1830.
This newly released merlot is all dark chocolate, blood plum, black fruits and liquorice. 100% estate grown fruit followed by 18 mths in French oak.
Lovely to drink now and with potential for mid term cellaring.
Silver Medal Qantas Wine Show; 91 points James Halliday “Rich, tannic merlot. Means business. Certainly wouldn’t want to challenge it to an arm wrestle; there’s a mighty grip on this. Strong flavours of blackcurrant and mulberry show no such reticence, and prove mostly up to the task.”
