Hesketh Dangerous Type Merlot is a sophisticated and approachable wine from South Australia. This medium-bodied Merlot boasts rich flavours of ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries, complemented by hints of vanilla, cocoa and spice. With smooth, velvety tannins and a balanced acidity, it offers a long, satisfying finish.

Perfect for pairing with grilled meats, hearty pastas and aged cheeses. Ideal for any occasion. Enjoy slightly chilled to fully appreciate its aromatic complexity.

"The fruit here was harvested from vineyards in the southern parts of Coonawarra, which enjoyed a superb vintage in 2022. After fermentation, the wine underwent a period of maturation in a mix of older and new (30%) French oak barrels. Dark red colour here, the nose is redolent with alluring aromas of plums, mulberries, a hint of fruitcake, milk chocolate and black fruits. Good freshness is evident here, with a sleek yet generous texture and fine, if rather firm tannins, before a lingering finish. Enjoy it any time over the next three years. Drink to 2028."
