Capel Vale  2020 Debut

Merlot (Geographe)

Pronounced maroon in color, this wine starts with a juicy, red fruit nose. The palate follows suit. It’s stuffed with sweet red cherries, blueberries and light spice. Pleasant with mild tannins and integrated acidity, this is an easy-to-sip style. The midpalate is moderately plump with light intensity and moderate concentration, and the finish is brief. It’s even light enough to serve it as a chilled wine. Drink now–2023.
