Lucy M L’enorme Merlot 2023
Regular price $32
Peramangk Country.
Lucy M’s Merlot (100%) is sourced from Magpie Springs Farm in Hope Valley, a sandy site at the top of a hill close to the ocean. The fruit was destemmed and fermented in an open-top 2,000-litre oak barrel. The ferment was foot-stomped once a day over three weeks. The wine was then pressed to ceramic eggs for maturation.
Has the plushness of the variety, a soft, purple slosh of goodness and light crunch and chew. Fragrant in plum, mulberry, sage leaf, pepper and liquorice. Uplifting and refreshing even with a touch of earthiness and more dried herb lingering in the finish. Feels very pure and transparent, energetic and vibrant. A wild streak, done well.
