Private Bin

2009 South Eastern Australia Merlot

Stable Hill Private Bin Merlot from the esteemed 2009 vintage showcases the rich and vibrant characteristics that South Eastern Australia is known for. This full-bodied red wine exudes a balance of medium to high acidity that invigorates the palate, enhancing its allure. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering delectable notes of dark cherry, blackberry, and a whisper of plum, wrapped in subtle hints of oak. Tannins are smooth and well-integrated, providing structure without overwhelming the luscious fruit flavors. The wine is crafted in a dry style, making it a versatile choice for food pairings or enjoyable on its own. A true representation of the merlot varietal, this wine celebrates the unique terroir of its Australian origins.

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.
