Peculiar Mr Pat Merlot – this is he story of a most particular wombat…Orphaned, beaten up by his wild wombat mates, taken in by Ballarat Wildlife Park, wheelbarrowed around (for weight reasons), adored the world over.
The Merlot grapes that make this wine were grown in the glorious Australian sunshine. Merlot thrives along the banks of Australia’s largest river, the Murray, near the bustling inland town of Mildura, in
the middle of Australia’s food bowl. A Mediterranean climate, with plenty of sunshine, they carefully tend the vines and enrich the ancient, sandy soils with recycled organic matter from other crops that
also thrive locally, to make the most of every precious drop of water. Speckled light reaches through lush green vine canopies to ensure the berries ripen steadily throughout late summer in time for
harvest in Autumn.
Bright, plush, deeply tasty Merlot from Riverland vineyards, this is abundant in freshly picked red
fruit with a soft tannic profile and a long, moreish finish.
This wine can be enjoyed with a wide range of meat dishes, and minimal winemaking intervention
means that this wine can also be enjoyed, guilt-free by Pescatarians, Vegetarians and Vegans.
