2008 South Eastern Australia Merlot

Snowy River My Wines Direct Merlot from the 2008 vintage showcases the inviting, deep red hues typical of a well-crafted Merlot. Hailing from the sunny and diverse climate of South Eastern Australia, this wine presents a medium-bodied experience with soft tannins that gracefully support the fruit profile. The acidity comes across as refreshing, adding balance to the luscious flavors of ripe blackcurrant and plum, which are prominent in its character. With its delightful fruit intensity, this Merlot is dry, making it an excellent choice for various occasions, whether enjoyed on its own or paired with hearty dishes. Its smooth finish and approachable nature make it a fantastic representation of what a quality Australian Merlot can offer.

South Eastern Australia

Covering the entire southeastern third of the country, the South Eastern Australia designation is a vast area (over 1,200 miles long and encompassing the regions of South Australia, New South Wales and Tasmania). Many of Australia's best wines are made here. From the stunning Shiraz produced around Adelaide to the luscious Sémillons of the Hunter Valley, and from the fragrant Pinot Noirs of Tasmania to the lush Chardonnay of Riverina, nearly every grape variety and wine style flourishes in South Eastern Australia, basking in the sun-kissed Mediterranean climate and rich, varied soils.
