Description

The Mercer Montepulciano Rosso brings a little bit of the Italian countryside to Australia, delivering an attractive, energetic wine.

Montepulciano is an Italian grape that is slowly and thankfully growing in popularity in Australia. Mercer's iteration of it is a nod to its European forebears with its lovely dark fruits and chocolate tones, with some savoury herbs adding some complexity.

On the palate, it's all about energy and flavour, with the fruitiness singing alongside the acidity, while the tannins are not overpowering but finely integrated.

If you can't get your hands on an Italian Montepulciano, grab the Mercer instead. You'll thank us later.

"It's an excellent example of monte's fun and serious sides. A great drink for anything seared on the barbecue or spicy meat-based stews. A value add to any day of the week."
- Shanteh Wale (Halliday Wine Companion)

92 points - "A bundle of picked cherries, blackberries and dusty blue plums meets the asphalt and gravelly stones of bitumen. There is olive leaf, sage and star anise, too. Fruit radiates its sweet side on the palate, which is picked up by the assertive tannins and rolling acidity and carried along for the wild ride. It's an excellent example of monte's fun and serious sides. A great drink for anything seared on the barbecue or spicy meat-based stews. A value add to any day of the week." - Shanteh Wale (Halliday Wine Companion)
