Nangkita The Settler Merlot

The Settler Merlot 2022 is a plush, full-bodied Southern Fleurieu red from Nangkita Vineyard Estates, delivering deep fruit flavour with the smooth, easy confidence that great Australian Merlot does so well. Estate-grown on the elevated Nangkita vineyard between McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek, it is rich, generous and made to impress.

Mulberry, black cherry and ripe plum aromas rise from the glass, backed by dark berry richness and a subtle savoury lift. The palate is lush and rounded, packed with deeply ripe fruit while smooth tannins and integrated acidity provide shape and freshness. The Settler Merlot 2022 finishes velvety, generous and wonderfully moreish.

Serve The Settler Merlot with slow-roasted lamb, beef lasagne, barbecue pork ribs or a rich mushroom pie. Its ripe fruit and silky texture also make it a brilliant partner for duck, peppered steak and mature cheddar. An indulgent Australian Merlot for relaxed weekend meals, this is a crowd-pleasing red that earns a permanent spot on the table.
