Description
The Mercer Malbec is the perfect option for a warm-hearted, well-priced red that isn't Shiraz!
Aaron Mercer is a force to be reckoned with. Based in the Hunter Valley but sourcing fruit from all over NSW, Mercer has a unique talent with 'alternative' grape varieties, with his thumbprint of deliciously plush fruit and seamless balance all over this wine.
It's a dark and brooding red but not over-the-top, with plum and blackcurrant alongside some liquorice spiciness and floral notes. The palate is silky smooth with tannins and acidity keeping each other in check, providing balance and energy.
A great wine for steak nights or when you're after something a little different. Superb value!

"Contemporary and youthful with high-toned, juicy cherry fruit accented by a whisper of vanilla and earth and underpinned by bright acidity. Excellent flavour concentration on the front and mid-palate..."
