This range was created as a tribute to our
founder Eric Brand, one of the original
‘Blockers’. This was the name given to the
original Coonawarra land holders who sold
their grapes to larger wineries in the
mid-1900's. Made in true Coonawarra style
our Cabernet Merlot displays blue and dark
berry fruits; It is full and rounded on
the palate, and has a smooth and refined
tannin structure. Barrel fermentation and
maturation has provided integrated spicy
and nutty French Oak characters to
complement the pure varietal fruits.
This wine is perfect for drinking now but
with careful cellaring will continue to age
beautifully over the next 10 years .
