Penny’s Hill Malpas Road Merlot 2021

Share

This McLaren Vale Merlot from 2021 is a generous and full-flavoured example of the variety bursting with blueberry, black olive and violet aromas that are appealing and seductive. It is beautifully fleshy and approachable with genuine tannins that provide the backbone for a lengthy finish. Already drinking well, this wine will improve in bottle over the short to medium term.
