The spring vale 'Melrose' produces a wine that is of a colour that is a classic dark cherry with good depth.  The perfume on this wine is sure to please, being a mix of luscious red berries (strawberries, raspberries) and hints of cola and earth. Overall, there is a harmonious balance between the intergrated acid and the fine, powdering tannins. The mid-palate has weight and presence, with the finish being persistent and flavoursome.
