The 2018 Guardian Peak Merlot displays fresh, ripe red fruit flavours of figs and plums supported by soft, discreet tannins which create a well-balanced, elegant Merlot with a round, juicy finish. This wine shows a wonderful structure for a wine best consumed at a young age. A great partner with pizza, bolognese and stews.

string(366) "The variety which made Château Pétrus in Pomerol famous, however it can undoubtedly be considered an international variety which is almost as ubiquitous as Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot is a generous, plush and fruit forward variety which often acts as the foil in Cabernet led blends. As a single varietal it offers red stone fruit flavours and often a velvety core."
