Firespinner Merlot 2019
Lush, gorgeously fruity and eminently drinkable Merlot from the warm vineyards of Central Victoria. Subtly integrated French oak flatters the juicy ripe plum, fruit cake and exotic spice of this attractive red from the talented McPherson cellar team.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
