Bumblebee Organic Merlot 2021

A vineyard full of bumblebees is a sign of healthy vines and flavoursome fruit.

Our bees play a vital role in our ecosystem: contributing to around a third of the world’s crops with their pollination. However, the world’s population of bees is in sharp decline. Intensive farming practices, the use of agricultural chemicals, and global warming are all to blame.

The decrease in their population poses a serious threat to human livelihood. To try to combat this problem, we’ve taken a ‘back to basics’ approach to farming – through cultivating our vines sustainably. Healthy crops mean happy bees… and happy bees mean flourishing fruit and delicious wine.

This South Australian Merlot is bursting with fruit vibrancy showing aromas of blood plum, chocolate and subtle oak. The palate delivers fresh, upfront fruit with plush tannins and a long-concentrated finish. Perfect drinking now, but will cellar up to 7 years. 14.5%.

A stunning winter or BBQ red, that offers exceptional value under $20.
