Shannon Mount Bullet Merlot 2020
Merlot
Description
Shannon Vineyards in Elgin strives to produce wines of elegance and finesse; wines that achieve power, not through higher alcohol but through core quality and complexity. The winemaking approach of minimal intervention highlights the difference in terroirs and emphasizes minerality and individuality. With the Shannon Mount Bullet Merlot 2020, considerable emphasis is placed on maximising the different clone expressions and therefore each parcel is vinified and matured separately before final blending. This red wine has a fragrance of ripe red fruits such as plums and dark cherries, with earthy complexity and yet still expressing minerality. Maintaining a good acidity lends to outstanding freshness with a well-integrated ripe and seductive tannin structure. Incorporating a minimal winemaking intervention approach, such as natural ferment and only two punch downs daily, retains silkiness and elegance.
