In Australia, cabernet sauvignon and merlot is a common blend to produce a Bordeaux-style red, with merlot’s smoothness and fruit forward qualities helping to balance the high tannin in the cabernet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was picked and hand-sorted in late April 2023. The two varietal parcels were cold soaked in small fermenters for two days before undergoing a gentle and extended maceration. This approach helped to soften the tannin profile. The wine was then matured in 225L Bordeaux oak barriques (30% new) with the balance to aged Bordeaux barriques. The wine was matured in these barrels for fourteen months before being prepared for final blending and bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Singlefile Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45629850255608,"sku":"12223","price":27.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2712\/5752\/files\/singlefile-cabernet-sauvignon-merlot-great-southern-2022.png?v=1737978674","url":"https:\/\/checkout.reservecellar.com.au\/products\/singlefile-great-southern-cabernet-sauvignon-merlot-2023","provider":"Reserve Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
