2005 Sevenhill Merlot

Sevenhill is the oldest winery in the Clare Valley, established by the Jesuits (Society of Jesus) who migrated from Austria in 1848, seeking a life free from religious and political persecution. Initially the main purpose of the winery was to produce sacramental wine, which still accounts for 30% of its production and is widely exported.
