THE STORY
Since establishing himself at Mount Hurtle winery in 1985 Geoff Merrill has achieved significant success at home and
internationally. His elegant, subtle wines have culminated in major trophy wins including the coveted Jimmy Watson and
The Wine Society Trophy. Geoff’s commitment to releasing wines to be enjoyed at the table has never wavered.
THE WINE
“Approximately 4 months after vintage, Geoff and Scott undergo a blind tasting to select the finest barrels from our
Coonawarra and McLaren Vale vineyards that make the grade for our Reserve Chardonnay. These barrels are blended
together then returned to new French oak hogsheads for additional maturation prior to bottling.” - Geoff Merrill
WINEMAKERS NOTES
A terrific greenish / yellow straw colour. A captivating aroma where each look reveals more.
There's lime, mango, orange blossom and ripe apple notes, with fresh cucumber and melon skin
characters. The oak is subtly and nutty, perfectly harmonising with the intense fruit.
A delicious palate that's full of flavour, with mid palate weight and depth, and a zesty piquant
acidity on the finish. Characters range from nectarine through mandarin and grapefruit, some
Greek yoghurt and cashew oak flavours and textures finishing on a cleansing orange pith note.
FOOD PAIRING
Enjoy with Frenched Saltbush Lamb Cutlets, Greek Salad, Seafood Risotto, Roast Pork, Grilled
Salmon with Lemon and Butter and Brie or Camembert.
