Altair Estate Merlot 2022 from Margaret River is a beautifully balanced and refined wine, bursting with enticing aromas of dark raspberries, cranberries, and chocolate oranges, complemented by hints of coffee bean oak and red licorice. The nose is further enriched with herbal notes of rosemary and mint, while the palate reveals subtle spice with flavours of black mulberry and cardamom. This Merlot offers a medium to long finish with a delicate chalky tannin texture, providing elegance and finesse.

This 2022 vintage has been celebrated as one of Australia’s best Merlots by the Young Gun of Wine panel, praised for its harmony of bright fruit and brooding depth. It pairs wonderfully with roasted lamb, duck breast, or mushroom-based dishes, enhancing the wine’s plush tannins and vibrant fruit profile.
