Dowie Doole Merlot 2010

Viticulturist Norm Doole and winemaker Brian Light have struck a purple patch with their Merlot, fortifying the pick of their crop with a tenth of Cabernet Sauvignon for structure, aromaticness and length.

At Dowie Doole, quality drives everything. Viticulturally, the ultimate expression of quality is in delivering harvests of the most exceptional fruit to make great wines. Merlot is harvested in excellent condition as the grapes achieve rich colour, exemplary varietal flavour, good acidity and fine ripe tannins. Fruit is crushed and vinified on skins in a static fermenter for six days. A third of the juices are run off into medium toast American oak hogsheads and barrel fermented to dryness. The balance is fermented to dryness and transferred to a selection of seasoned, second and third use barrels. Batches complete malolactic and ten months maturation before assembling into the final wine.

Bright crimson red with purple hue. An aromatic nose dominated by spices and ripe red fruit such as plums, rhubarb and cherry. A medium bodied palate with barrel fermentation integrating the oak with ripe plum and soft, herbaceous, berry characters. The wine opens up to reveal roasted chocolate and coffee characters finishing with soft, rounded tannins. Continues the essential style of early accessibility, exhibiting soft, lingering flavours. To accompany a turkey roast, venison, pork loins or tomato pasta.
