Reserve Merlot

2006 Margaret River Merlot

The Wandering Wallaby Reserve Merlot from the 2006 vintage is a delightful expression of the Margaret River region, showcasing a captivating deep red hue that hints at its rich character. This medium-bodied wine presents a harmonious balance of acidity, bringing a refreshing brightness that enhances its charm. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering a vibrant medley of black cherry, plum, and ripe blackberry, which are elegantly complemented by subtle notes of chocolate and a hint of spice. Tannins are well-structured, providing a firm foundation that supports the luscious fruit profile without overpowering it, resulting in a smooth and enjoyable mouthfeel. As a dry wine, it is wonderfully food-friendly and pairs beautifully with roasted meats and hearty vegetarian dishes, making it a perfect choice for gatherings or intimate dinners alike.

Western Australia

Fans of Aussie wine will be familiar with Western Australia's beautifully complex Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhône varietals and blends. Lying south of Perth around the southwestern tip of the country, this relatively small area produces just five percent of Australia's wine. But when it comes to quality, Western Australia punches well above its weight. Well-known small sub-regions within Western Australia include Margaret River, Frankland River and the Blackwood Valley, where the dynamic Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs and Rieslings are distinctly European in character.
