Jane Brook Winery - Margaret River

Jane Brook Merlot

Aroma The 2009 Margaret River Merlot displays dark cherry, marzipan & coffee bean aromas, highlighted by perfumed mulberry & a touch of spice.

Palate The palate is rich and smooth with lingering flavours. Characters include cinnamon, dark plum & berry fruits.

Winemaking The Merlot was harvested at optimum baume, then crushed and fermented on skins until dry. After pressing, fermentation was completed in stainless steel tanks. Following malolactic fermentation, a portion of the wine was transferred to French oak barriques for ageing and flavour development prior to bottling.

Food Match Delicious with roast pork or turkey or a tomato & olive based pasta dish.

Vintage Conditions  Following a winter of above average rainfall, Margaret River experienced an early budburst and near perfect growing conditions through Spring. These warm dry conditions continued through the ripening period until Easter with all varieties picked prior to any significant rain. Thus they display good flavour development and phenolic ripeness in the reds.
