Reserve Merriman Cabernet Sauvignon

Shaw Wines Reserve Merriman Cabernet Sauvignon draws from the low yielding, spur pruned estate vineyard at Murrumbateman, an area known for its cool climate.

The wine is named in honour of George Merriman, who in the late 1800s put Murrumbateman on the map not for wine but for world class wool.

Only the best Cabernet grapes are selected. They are picked in the cool of the night to ensure they arrive at the winery at less than 20°C. Following open fermentation on skins, the wine is matured for 22 months in French oak barrels.

Deep garnet red, Shaw Wines Reserve Merriman Cabernet Sauvignon is a soft and velvety wine with dark berry and oak flavours. Cellaring potential is 12 years.
