Visual Review

The Fratelli Merlot greets the eye with a captivating deep ruby hue, presenting a visual allure that promises a rich tasting journey. Its clear and intense clarity is striking illustrates the careful crafting behind this vibrant varietal. The color perfectly embodies the essence of classic Merlot, while its pretty opaque intensity further enriches the anticipation of a full-bodied experience.

Aroma Review

On the nose, this Merlot is nothing short of appealing. It offers a bouquet brimming with a delightful variety that beckons the senses closer.

The primary aromas of strawberry, blackberry, and blueberry merge beautifully, forming a berry-rich foundation enhanced by enticing whispers of chocolate. This combination not only showcases good nose quality but also paints a picture of a wine that has been lovingly tended to deliver such aromatic pleasure.

Taste Review

Sipping the Fratelli Merlot is an immediately enjoyable encounter. The wine flows with a medium body and light warmth , making it wonderfully accessible and pleasantly drinkable.

Light tannins and viscosity ensure that it remains gentle on the palate, while its dry sweetness subtly introduces the distinct flavors of green capsicum, morello cherry, red currant, and a hint of beetroot—each adding depth and intrigue.

The wine is beautifully balanced and complex, offering a long and pleasant finish that lingers like a fond memory. Its distinct flavor intensity and the very enjoyable tasting experience speak to its craftsmanship.
