Preece Merlot Victoria Australia

Tasting Note Lively, fresh Chardonnay with intense peach, nectarine and lime flavours enriched with a dash of vanilla and a hint of creamed coconut on the finish. 14.4%. The whole Preece range is absolutely flying at the moment; winemaker Toby Barlow is at the top of his game with a network of great grape growers across Victoria providing him with some top quality fruit to play with. The key aspect of the Preece wines is the cool climate nature of the vineyards that provides ripe fruit with impeccable balance and freshness. This Chardonnay is a great example with enough richness and fruit to match dishes with creamy, buttery sauces but the sort of zip and zest that makes it a delicious, refreshing glass just on its own. Producer Profile Made at the Mitchelton winery in Victoria , the Preece wines take their name from Australian wine legend Colin Preece who was one of the first to spot and cultivate Victoria's potential for winemaking back in the early 1970s. The wines are made with all the care and attention to detail you'd expect of winemaker Toby Barlow and his team and reflect Victoria's cooler climate with an elegant, approachable style in contrast to the bigger blockbuster wines from elsewhere in Oz. (6 x 75 cl)

Tasting Note Ripe and juicy Shiraz with plenty of black and red fruit character lightly oaked to add some vanilla, toast and spice notes to the plum pudding and raspberry notes. 14.6% Victorian Shiraz, the stuff from Melbourne rather than the 1880s, is a touch lighter than the big boys from the Barossa but is still packed with smooth red and black berry fruit. The cooler climate means the wine is fresh and juicy with a smooth, easy-drinking style. Toby Barlow has crafted a cracking example , using grapes grown in the same vineyards as the flagship Mitchelton wines, making this a great value wine with real pedigree.
