Made by Mobbs Above 600 Orange Merlot 2015
About the wine
A structured and complex Merlot!
- Steve has come sweeping in to Naked in 2016, and his Merlot is not the kind to be labelled with the old sweet, fruity stereotype - it is brimming with structure and complexity. It is a stunning hand-crafted example of what Orange is quickly becoming famous for!
- You'll be reaching for a re-fill in no time, with classic qualities of plum, cherry, tobacco and herbal notes. Bucket loads of TLC has ensured extra depth, super soft tannins, a balanced mouth feel and a mouth-watering a savory finish. All this for under $16 will leave your hip pocket happy too!
- The batch was tiny (read: it won't last!) and was all matured in French barrique and puncheon barrels. Understandably, Steve wanted only the best treatment for such premium fruit from the absolutely cracking 2015 vintage. Each mouthful will demonstrate why everyone is going nuts over new world cool-climate reds!
