A quietly confident red that will reward both near-term drinking and mid-term cellaring

Pleasantly meaty

Having lost all of their grapes in the 2009 bushfires

The ideal accompaniment to main dishes such as roast and braised meats

Garagiste Merricks Chardonnay 2025 Size::1 Bottle A quietly confident red thatThe Merricks Chardonnay, from 29 year old vines on soils of grey loams and red ferrosols on south and southeast facing slopes, was harvested and sorted by hand before being pressed as bunches. Fermentation was spontaneous with high levels of solids in 500 litre Franois Frres puncheons. A small portion went through natural malolactic fermentation, and the wine rested in large format barrels on full gross lees for 10 months before bottling. Barney seeks
