Richard Hamilton LOT 148 Merlot McLaren Vale South Australia
Description: A Mclaren Vale Merlot showing a deep red colour with some youthful crimson. The rich fruit-cake nose with a hint of spicy mint has benefitted from time in oak to highlight aromatic cinnamon, vanilla and spice to the wine. Very round and long palate with excellent mouth-feel and persistence this is a well made wine. Fine tannins enhance the weight while a clean acidity ensures the wine finishes cleanly. Hamilton is one of the original Australian winemaking families. In 1837 Richard Hamilton founded the Hamilton Vineyards, just south of Adelaide in 1837. It was planted with stock brought by the family from South Africa, en route from England. Five winemaking generations later, in 1972, Richard's great-great-grandson Dr Richard Hamilton established a small winery in McLaren Vale under the guidance of his father Burton, a noted viticulturist, and uncle, renowned vigneron, Sydney Hamilton.S ydney retired in 1981 after 65 vintages and Dr Richard Hamilton purchased the company from him.
