Tasting Notes

On the palate, this Merlot is juicy with flavours of Bing cherry, blackberry and notes of crushed herb, all underpinned by the spice from the French Oak the wine sees during ageing. This medium-bodied wine is well-integrated with balanced fruit, oak and acidity and leaves a lasting finish.

An unusually warm winter and spring droughts led to earlier budbreak and lower yields, while record heat waves during the growing season resulted in a higher concentration of fruit flavour in the grapes. The 2020 vintage wines have greater depth, more complexity and unique aromatics compared to previous vintages.

The Path is a collection of approachable, fruit-forward wines that celebrate life's journey and the moments that shape it. Carefully crafted to express varietal character and regional authenticity, the range offers vibrant flavours, balance and everyday drinkability, inviting consumers to relax, explore and enjoy every step along the way.
