Merlot ’18, Lucy M, Anton van Klopper, Australia

Anton’s Merlot is wild, funky & flavourful with serious flair. Made with early picked grapes, from The Deans farm in Piccadilly valley, the berries are destemmed & fermented in closed barrels on the skins for 8 months. She’s showing a classic deep, inky Merlot profile smacking of concentrated plum, fresh blackberries & a pinch of spice. She’s tannic with a banging structure & a hint of something less tangible…an infusion of wild winemaking magic maybe… Anton’s uncompromising approach to honest wines with pure natural integrity, keep him firmly at the top of the Aussie natty hot list
