Notes from the producer:

My Darling Merlot is an endearing homage to Rob Gibson’s wife, Anne.

The fruit for this 'labour of love' was sourced from our estate vineyard in Light Pass. This vineyard is 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 mixed berries, black olive and crushed herbs with hints of star anise. Whilst juicy mulberry, cherry and herb flavours are all evident in the 2020 My Darling, Rob’s description of the Merlot variety is eloquently put. “At one moment soft and tender, the next firm and reassuring.”

Gibson My Darling Merlot will pair beautifully with grilled meats such as beef, pork & lamb. You and your darling can also enjoy a glass with your favourite cheddar or blue cheese.
