Overview

Experience the enchanting allure of The Redcap Merlot Sangiovese, a wine that captures the spirit of the legendary Scottish folklore. Forged in the Hunter Valley, this sweet Merlot, Sangiovese blend summons the Redcap of Scottish legend: fierce, earthy, and unyielding.

Crafted from premium Hunter Valley Merlot & Sangiovese grapes, this wine undergoes a meticulous winemaking process. The grapes are hand-harvested at peak ripeness and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The ferment is completed early to preserve the vibrant fruit characteristics and sweetness. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in carefully selected oak barrels, imparting a subtle complexity, allowing the sweet flavors to mature gracefully.

Brooding cherry, blood plum, ironstone and wild herbs stride across the palate. Sangiovese’s bite meets Merlot’s dark warmth, delivering taut tannins and vivid acidity. It finishes long and defiant, a wine for dusk, stone bridges, and drinkers who relish danger, myth, and the thrill of standing their ground. With ancient shadows and fearless character intact, enduring, proud.
