Made from hand-harvested Merlot grapes grown in Heathcote and the Macedon Ranges regions. A beautifully plummy red wine, doused with velvety robes of gentle vanillan, matured in seasoned French and American oak for twelve months, this red wine offers warm toasty aromas supported by ripe fragrant Merlot fruit. This Granite Hills is full but soft, showing sweet spicey fruit and a supple tannin structure. Made to be enjoyed now, Knights Merlot can develop further complexity with a little ageing
The Granite Hills planting’s are the oldest in the Macedon Ranges region, their roots now well down into the old granitic sandy loam soils. It’s the good drainage and low fertility attributes of the soil at Granite Hills which is so beneficial to the balance of the vine, keeping the yields low and the quality of the grapes high. This clean vineyard theme is reinforced by exposure to the prevailing winds, which tends to lower humidity and therefore disease pressure as well as naturally limiting yields. Hand pruning, meticulous vinayard management, and selective hand picking is utilised to ensure only the well ripened grapes enter the winery
