Description:
The Merlot Grapes, sourced exclusively from Riverland and Sunraysia, were harvested at night to ensure retention of the maximum freshness and fruit flavours.
Fermented and aged in stainless steel, a portion of the blend was exposed to oak which gives an added dimension of spiciness to marry with the plummy fruit and soft tannins, so typical of the merlot grape.
A rich, full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon made using fruit mostly from the warm Riverland and Murray Darling regions. After harvest the wine is traditionally fermented in stainless steel to extract the maximum colour and fruit from the grapes. Once in the winery a short period of contact with oak follows to give a subtle light oak dimension on the palate. Full of sweet blackcurrant and cherry fruit flavours this great Cabernet Sauvignon is backed on the finish by ripe tannins. (12 x 75 cl)
A wonderfully herbal, black fruited Merlot from one of Australia's best cool climate regions. Fine tannins and a supple mouthfeel, with a sweet ripe black fruit finish. (12 x 75 cl)

This is a youthful,silky smooth wine with infinite drinkability. The grapes were selected from premium growing regions throughout Australia.Parcels of fruit which showed generous fruit concentrations were identified and treated in the Soft Press winemaking style.The grape skins were gently handled to maximize the variety 's pure flavours during the fermentation process.This approach ensures the wine is pure and naturally balanced with no harsh or bitter tannins. A portion of this wine was fermented in French oak to give it added complexity of flavour and structure before being blended and bottled in June . The result is a soft and mellow wine that is versatile and will complement numerous food styles and dishes. The Sarantos Merlot displays a striking vibrant red colour with abundant cherry,plum,raspberry and sweet red fruit characters.The palate is soft, juicy and generous in flavour with a hint of vanillin oak and soft,fine-grained tannins supporting the vibrant fruit.
