Penfolds Rawson's Retreat Merlot presents a fragrant bouquet of ripe red berries, such as plum and raspberry, complemented by subtle notes of spice, chocolate, and a hint of soft oak.
The palate is smooth and medium-bodied, with flavors of juicy red fruits, like plum and cherry, balanced by soft tannins and a touch of earthy spice and mocha, creating a round and velvety mouthfeel.
The finish is smooth and rounded, with lingering fruit flavors and a light touch of oak, leaving a soft, satisfying aftertaste.
The Rawson’s Retreat range of wines was affectionately named after our founder’s family cottage which he built in 1845, one year after he planted his first vineyard on the property.
This Merlot is soft and supple with immediate drinkability. Using grapes from premium vineyards in South Eastern Australia, it has berry fruit characteristics with floral notes, all supported by subtle oak.
