Murray Red honors Australia’s mighty Murray River, that plays a crucial role in supporting Riverland vineyards. It provides essential irrigation, moderates the dry climate, and enriches the regions fertile soils.
A bold and expressive blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Mataro and Merlot from the sun kissed vineyards of Riverland, Australia. Murray Red is full-bodied and structured with intense aromas of ripe blackcurrant and plum, seamlessly layered with notes of red cherry and raspberry. On the palate, dark fruit dominates while subtle spice emerges with hints of cracked black pepper and dried herbs, adding depth and complexity to the fruit-forward profile. Firm but well-integrated tannins pair with balanced acidity, leading to a smooth finish that leaves a lingering impression.
About the Region: Riverland, Australia
