Some of the areas historic old wineries were established in the late 1800s and many remain today. With a strong regional identity on the international stage, the wines have a distinctive style and subtlely achieved from a combination of very warm summers, mild winters and cooling sea breezes. Many of Australia`s most famous and expensive wines have their vineyard origins within this region. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProducerGeoff Merrill was born in 1953 and was raised on a sheep station in the far north of South Australia until he was 11 years old. The Merrill family then moved to the Barossa Valley, just north of Adelaide, where Geoff`s first links with the wine industry were formed. Following his `apprenticeship` at Chateau Reynella, in 1985 he purchased the historic Mount Hurtle winery. Reknowned for his handle-bar moustache and friendship with many of crickets elite, his talents were recently rewarded when he received the legendary Jimmy Watson Trophy, probably Australia`s most prestigious wine award. Tasting Notes“A tribute to Bill Parham, Geoff Merrill`s grandfather, who lived 102 years and one month. This Cabernet will, too, be long-lived. Aged in brand new American oak for 27 months and sourced from two premium sites – “Wickham” McLaren Vale (85%) and “Graymoor” Coonawarra (15%). The American oak adds some sweetness, but the depth of blackcurrant fruit out-wrestles it. Quite a herby and tomatoey type early, sage, mint and some dried herbs are prominent alongside that black fruit. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFoodWould be great with beef brisket and slow roasted Moroccan lamb shank. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMediaJames Halliday awarded 96 points.
