Tread Softy Merlot

Tread Softly is a contemporary range of wines seeking to deliver delicious, intensely flavoured wines that are naturally medium weighted and moderate in alcohol. By using more sustainable vineyard management and wine-making techniques to ensure their production has had a minimal impact to the environment. Tread Softly is committed to reducing their carbon footprint and so commits to planting an Australian Native tree for every 6 bottles sold. 

This lighter bodied Merlot shows real restraint yet is packed with vibrant red berry fruits. Elegant aromatics are nicely rounded with plush fruit and soft tannins making this a genuine crowd pleaser. Pair it with a cheese platter.

Harvested in the cool of the morning to avoid the warmer temperatures of the day. The fruit is quickly delivered to the winery for destemming and crushing prior to a regular fermentation in stainless steel tank. The wine is aerated and temp controlled for an even ferment and then spends 3 months settling in tank prior to bottling and an early release.
