Wave Hill Council
Australia
This Australian Merlot is a perfect porch pounder and will be gone before you know it!
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Wave Hill Council
Merlot
In Australia, Merlot is rarely bottled as a stand-alone varietal. This particular vintage was so delightful that it was specially pulled out of blending. A perfect porch pounder, this wine features perfumed aromas and a soft rich texture. It is incredibly approachable and will have you going back for another glass! Merlot is a wine designed to pair with a variety of foods and this is no exception - think slow-braised, grilled, or roasted meats or anything with a spicy kick.

WINE REGION:
Australia
The Land Down Under is famous for taking well-known European grapes and giving them a new personality. From bold, jammy Shiraz to creamy oak-tinged Chardonnay, herbaceous Sémillon to distinctively citrusy Riesling, when it comes to quality, Australian wine can be breathtaking. This is thanks to its variety of climates and terroirs. Australia is roughly the same size as the continental United States, with temperatures ranging from searingly hot to moderately cool. The best regions have warm days and cool nights, tempered by breezes from the Southern and Indian Oceans.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Wave Hill Council
In the Northern Territory of Australia, Wave Hill is the famous site where the Wave Hill walk-off took place in 1966. During this peaceful protest, the region’s aboriginal stockmen and domestic workers went on strike, demanding the return of the area’s native lands to the indigenous Gurindji people and improved working conditions. This strike ended after seven years when the local government finally agreed to their terms, making this event the first major victory of the fight for Aboriginal land rights in Australia. At Wave Hill Council, we salute the tenacity, passion and grit of these origins. Each of our wines is bold and full of life, having been crafted with history in mind and with respect for those who got us where we are today.
