FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS OVER $250

‘My Darling’ is an endearing reference to Rob Gibson’s wife Anne.

The Merlot vineyard at Light Pass was planted to the ‘Gibson-Schulz Trellis’ system – a unique method of training vines, co-invented by Rob. Vines are alternately planted on a low and high cordon wire, the latter reaching over two metres in height.

The wine shows fragrant aromas of black cherry, mulberry, blackberry bush, crushed herbs and allspice. Whilst complex flavours of red and black cherry, blackberry bush and vanillan spice are all evident in the 2022 My Darling, Rob’s description of the Merlot variety is eloquently put. “At one moment soft and tender, the next firm and reassuring.” Although we’re all well aware of his love of Merlot, we can’t help but feel this is also Rob’s way of subtly describing the true darling in his life.
