Product Description

Winery Background
Tread Softly is a forward-thinking label known for lighter, modern wine styles and a strong sustainability focus, with a tree planted for every bottle sold. The Core Range Merlot is crafted to highlight the variety’s smooth, approachable character.

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions
The 2024 season in South Australia was moderate and balanced, allowing Merlot to ripen evenly with excellent fruit intensity. Cooler evenings helped preserve freshness and soft, silky tannins.

Winemaking Process
Grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness and fermented gently to extract vibrant fruit and supple texture. A portion was matured with oak influence to add depth and roundness without overshadowing varietal purity.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby with purple edges. Aromas of plum, blackberry, and dark cherry are lifted by hints of spice and cocoa. The palate is plush and medium-bodied, showing ripe dark fruits, velvety tannins, and a smooth, rounded finish.

Food Pairing
Best enjoyed with pasta bakes, roast lamb, grilled vegetables, or hard cheeses.

Story Behind the Wine
The Merlot 2024 embodies Tread Softly’s mission: a wine that is soft, balanced, and expressive — perfect for easy enjoyment while being kind to the planet.
