2022 Yume 'Manjimup' Light Red

$42.00
/
Tax included.

Varietal: Merlot, Syrah
Region: Manjimup, WA
Winemaker: Lou Chalmer

Fans of chilled Grenache or lightly perfumed Merlot, please form an orderly queue. This is the quintessential transition-to-Summer drop full of rhubarb, redcurrant, sour cherry and a hint of oyster shell giving way to a lightly fruity finish. The perfect aperitif or sophisticated barbecue wine.

Yume’s 'Manjimup Light Red' was produced using Merlot and Syrah grapes picked by hand in March in 2022. For the Merlot component, whole bunches were left in contact with the skins for between 12-24 hours before being pressed off to older French oak. The Syrah saw 10-14 days skin contact (whole bunch) before being pressed to older French oak. The two wines were blended at bottling, with around 70% Merlot / 30% Syrah making up the final blend.
