Ludic King Valley Merlot 2019 (12 x 750mL) VIC

Description:

REGION

The King Valley is one of Australia’s most exciting, emerging wine regions. It is located in North East Victoria – approximately three hours North of Melbourne and seven hours South of Sydney. Home to the most picturesque and unspoilt valley in Australia, King Valley benefits from a cool climate with extremely varied terrain, that ranges from snow-capped Alps to sun baked fields.

THE SEASON

The growing season was a return to warmer conditions. Cool nights and warm days allow good varietal flavour expression with ripe tannins. Overall, a strong vintage producing red wines with richness and plushness.

WINEMAKING

The fruit for the 2019 Merlot was picked on the 4th April at 14.2° baumé. The grapes were picked in the early morning and crushed to static fermenters for a 3 day cold soak. After stabilisation of the colour, the must was inoculated for fermentation on skins with a peak temperature of 28.0°C reached. This allowed varietal expression of aromas and flavours while extracting soft subtle tannins. The wine was pressed of skins into various format oak for a period of 12 months to gain extra complexity and refinement. The wine was bottled under screw cap.

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Medium crimson in colour with purple hues. Strong notes of fresh blackberry and boysenberries burst from the glass combined with an attractive violet and mocha lift. The generous palate allows soft tannins to glide over the mid palate along with refined layers of plum and blackberry. This is an expressive, fresh and plush Merlot.
