BULLETIN PLACE MERLOT

Bulletin Place Merlot

This is a variety that until recent years was little planted in Australia. It is a difficult variety to grow and as the vines reach maturity the wines have taken on a new dimension of concentration and quality. This wine is a blend of grapes grown in the Riverland region of South Australia, blended with a smaller proportion of wine from our cool climate vineyard in the Hilltops region of New South Wales. It has an excellent deep color and a nose of berries and dark cherries. The wine is round in the mouth and finishes with soft sweet tannins.

Bulletin Place was founded by Leonard Paul “Len” Evans. A leader at the forefront of the early Australian wine industry’s drive for quality and international recognition, Evans was often referred to as “the godfather of the Australian wine industry” and was Decanter Magazine’s “Man of the Year” in 1997. A former chairman of the National, Sydney, and Adelaide Wine Shows, he was also the founder and expert blender of Evans Wine Company, which was established to export Australian wines around the world. The principal export label, Bulletin Place, was named for Evans’ famous club and shop in Sydney. After Evans’ death in 2007, Bill Calabria, owner of Calabria Family Wines, took over the Bulletin Place label. Calabria Family Wines is a dynamic family-owned company that was established in 1945 in the Riverina region. They are committed to producing outstanding premium wines and are proud to carry on Len Evans’ great tradition through the Bulletin Place brand.
