Details and technical informations about Winery Paragon's Reserve Merlot.
Discover the grape variety: Gros Bourgogne
Simple, dry and fresh whites with a pale golden colour, a supple palate with moderate acidity and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. A discreet rustic profile. Almost disappeared from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of Burgundy. Rare French white variety, once grown in Burgundy and the central regions.

The wine region of McLaren Vale
South Australian showcase of Mediterranean Shiraz: king red (~60% of the vineyard) powerful and silky with notes of blackberry, plum, dark chocolate, eucalyptus and a touch of sweet spice, velvety tannins and vibrant fruit. Renowned old-vine Grenache (cherry, garrigue, pepper), firm Cabernet Sauvignon and dense Mourvèdre as complement. Fresh Chardonnay and Vermentino in whites. Region 38 km south of Adelaide, Mediterranean climate, among the most geo-diverse soils in the world.
The wine region of Australie du Sud
Cradle of the great Australian Shiraz: powerful, sun-drenched reds with notes of blackberry, candied plum, pepper, chocolate and eucalyptus, ample tannins and vibrant fruit (Barossa, McLaren Vale). Firm, minty Cabernet Sauvignon on Coonawarra (terra rossa). Dry, lemony Riesling from Clare and Eden Valley, straight and taut. Fresh Sauvignon and Chardonnay from Adelaide Hills.
The word of the wine: Vintage (champagne)
It is a champagne made from a single harvest. In principle, we only vintage the great years: 1988, 1990, 1995, 1996... We find more often, now, the very good 2002, and the 2004, a little short.
