2001 Rosemount Estate Merlot

The 2001 season was characterised by ideal spring conditions and a warmer than average summer. Spring rains encouraged strong growth, flowering and fruit set. Rosemount's well-established vineyards came to the fore in these conditions, thriving in the summer heat and producing ripe fruit of great richness and character.

A vibrant purple colour with a rich red rim. Aromas of dark cherry and plum with lifted perfumed spiceand subtle hints of vanilla. Ripe plum and red cherry flavours combine with well-integrated oak and soft tannins to create a vibrant, supple palate with a long savoury finish.Alc/Vol: 13.5%Drink Now – 2006
