The Sandpiper Merlot is sourced from several Thorn-Clarke owned vineyards, with fruit from the cooler high altitude Eden Valley making a significant contribution. This wine is produced in a 'fruit forward' style with 12 months in primarily French oak; the wine is ready to be enjoyed now and will comfortably cellar up to 5 years. A mouth filling and generous Merlot, this wine retains varietal character whilst displaying rich Barossa fruit character.
