Grant Burge Hillcot Merlot
Description
Grant Burge Hillcot Merlot — Barossa Valley, South Australia, 14.5% ABV. Deep ruby with purple hues; blackberry, cherry, mint, dark chocolate, mocha and sage on the nose. Generous red berry fruit, soft ripe tannins on the palate — ripe fruit sweetness with oak and fruit in balance. Lengthy chocolate and red berry persistence.
On-trade positioning: A Vigneron Collection Merlot from the Barossa — a rare regional story (most Barossa reds are Shiraz or Cab). Merlot drinkers looking to explore Australian styles will find this approachable and generous. Pairs well with duck, lamb, mushroom-based dishes, aged hard cheese. Works as a mid-premium red in a wine-forward bistrot or casual fine-dining venue.
