After the Second World War the riverfront areas - bordering the Murray River - were developed into horticultural properties. The Murphy family were pioneers who established vineyards at Merbein in 1909 and they moved to the present property in 1960 where Jack Murphy instilled his knowledge of viticulture to the family, who established Trentham Estate. The vineyard flourished in the rich red loam over limestone soils, nurtured by water from the magnificent Murray River and Trentham Estate was officially launched in 1988. The Estate is continually striving to achieve the best possible fruit, involving use of many different varieties, with many different clones. Today, the Murphy vineyards spread over 50 hectares and have an annual crush of approximately 1,200 tonnes, however, only selected grapes are used to produce the estate's own range of wines. Vineyard Manager and Owner Pat Murphy, has over 30 years experience in Viticulture, and this definitely shows in the Trentham award winning wines. Known for their full flavour, structure and varietal character, it certainly proves that 'Good wines are made in the Vineyard'. However the modern state of the art facilities allow the flexibility to perform different winemaking styles, resulting in the diverse and always consistent Trentham Estate wines. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are the classic varieties of Bordeaux where the famous French Chateau's have grown them for hundreds of years. Traditionally Cabernet Sauvignon provides a blend with structure and tannin while Merlot gives softness and warmth. The Merlot grapes ripen before the Cabernet Sauvignon, generally by 1-2 weeks depending on the vineyard. The grapes were machine harvested and transferred immediately to the winery. Following harvesting the grapes were de-stemmed, crushed and placed in stainless steel fermenters - both varieties were kept separate. Fermentation on skins lasted 6-8 days with twice daily pump-overs. The wine was then separated from the skins, the skins pressed and different varieties transferred to American and French oak for maturation. During November the wines were re-vatted, blended and bottled. The final blend comprised 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. The wine displays ripe berry fruits and slight leafy overtones, the palate is full and dry finishing with firm fine grained tannins.
