Rusty Goat Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 RED Australia

If you've ever been to the Australian outback you'll know about that famous red soil (if not think Ayers Rock and you'll be on the right track). And if you've driven around the tiny county of Warburn you may have seen the odd sight of hundreds of rusty-looking goats - their coats tinted by the red dust. Antonio Sergi Warburn Estate's lead man is also owner of the goats ... hence his affection for the name! The rich red soil does have more important uses too - helping deliver outstanding Merlot and Cabernet grapes. Wine lovers the world over know of South Australia's legendary 'terra rosa' soil that produces such superb wines in the Coonawarra. In New South Wales near Warburn Estate the soil is very similar giving the vines the great drainage they need. Left on the vine longer to achieve maximum ripeness this soft silky wine is filled with aromas of red fruits plums with a hint of oak. Lovely fruity flavours of redcurrant and plum with a touch of spice. Perfect for barbeque or Italian food.
