This wine showcases the lovely softness, elegance and sensitivity that is Merlot.
Fruit is sourced from a selection of vineyards in various sub regions of the Barossa (Light Pass, Western Ridge and Eden Valley), adding more interest to the final product.
An extremely soft and drinkable wine that keeps you wanting more.
The Hahn family were among the original pioneers to the Barossa Valley, and began growing grapes in 1845. In 1997 a partnership was formed between 6th generation family custodians (James & Jackie Hahn) and Barossa winemaker, Rolf Binder, to produce the JJ Hahn range of wines. The range now encompasses small volumes of red wines, intended to be extremely good value and enjoyable to drink. Wines are now crafted using fruit from a unique and expressive ‘old vine’ vineyard in various sub regions of the Barossa, owned, managed and worked solely by the Binder family
After reasonable winter and spring rainfall, soil moisture was adequate during the 2018 growing season and the Barossa’s vineyards were exhibiting healthy canopies heading into summer. Jan and Feb were warm and dry, with very warm temperatures in Feb slowing down the pace of ripening, allowing good flavour to develop more slowly. The warm, dry Summer extended throughout the harvest season until the end of April. Overall yields were 10- 20% down, but quality high.
Established as a collaboration with the Hahn family in 1997, today Barossa winemaker Rolf Binder continues to produce the wines under the same label, with the JJ Hahn range now available in many countries. These are classic Barossa reds that represent exceptional drinkability and value..
