2021 AUSWAN CREEK STAR DRAGON MERLOT

Variety: Merlot

Vintage: 2021

Region: South Australia

Tasting Note: Auswan Zodiac Wine fans need no introduction to the rich, opulent wines from this legendary range. They're made from top quality South Australian fruit – and it shows in the ripe and velvety Star Dragon Merlot. Dark fruits bounce out of the glass with fresh – almost plum, blackberry and cherry. Vanilla, spice and herbal hints throughout. The palate is generous and well rounded. Grilled lamb cutlets with a side of mash and cranberry jam would go quite nicely alongside.

Cellaring: Drinking well now

Winemaker: Ben Riggs

Alc/Vol: 13.5%
