Tatachilla’s Clarendon Vineyard is located in the foothills between McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills. This is an outstanding Merlot. Opaque crimson purple colour. Superb nose - almost perfumed with pronounced aromas of mulberry and spice. The palate is equally impressive, with again distinct mulberry and spice flavours over a dark chocolate background. Fine grained, firmish tannins, perfect balance followed by a very long spice, mulberry aftertaste. A delightful example of Merlot that maximises its intense ripe fruit flavours. Cellar 3-5 years. To date winner of one Trophy, two Gold medals and one Silver. Stocks very limited.
