The 2023 Treasures Merlot is a soft and approachable Australian red wine made in an easy-drinking style. The nose is filled with aromas of ripe plum, black cherry and blackberry, complemented by subtle notes of mocha, dried herbs and gentle spice that add complexity while keeping the fruit at the forefront.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with smooth, velvety tannins and balanced acidity, creating a rounded and supple mouthfeel. Flavours of dark plum, blackcurrant and ripe berries are supported by hints of cocoa and light oak spice, leading to a soft, dry finish with good length and balance.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, the 2023 Treasures Merlot is a fantastic everyday red for customers who enjoy smooth, fruit-forward wines with gentle tannins and plenty of versatility. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, grilled pork, beef meatballs, pasta with tomato-based sauces or semi-hard cheeses. Best enjoyed now and over the next 3–5 years while its fresh fruit and supple texture are at their best.
