As a clone of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot shares its heritage but is generally lighter and smoother, with softer tannins and a rounder mouthfeel. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe wine opens with inviting aromas of ripe red cherries and dark plums, which lead to a smooth, velvety palate. These flavours are complemented by subtle hints of spice and a touch of oak, making it an elegant and well-balanced wine. Perfect for those who enjoy a more approachable style, this Merlot is ideal for easy drinking, whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of dishes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAwards:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop Gold and Trophy \u003c\/strong\u003e- 96\/100, 2023 Canberra Region and Wine Show\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold \u003c\/strong\u003e96\/100 - 2023 Winewise Championship\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver \u003c\/strong\u003e90\/100 - 2024 Australian Single Vineyard Wine \u003c\/span\u003eShow \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuy 12 bottles and save 15%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jugiong Wine Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50438403588411,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3082\/3758\/files\/grove-estate-hilltops-merlot-2022.webp?v=1784280600","url":"https:\/\/www.jugiongwinecellar.com.au\/ar\/products\/grove-estate-hilltops-merlot-2022","provider":"JW Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
