The Currency Creek region is located 60 minutes south of Adelaide and is 20 minutes from the McLaren Vale region via a picturesque, winding road over the Mt Lofty Ranges. This region is located adjacent to Lake Alexandrina and is within 4 km (3 miles) from the Southern Ocean and benefits from cool sea breezes that help with a slow but clean ripening. This climate allows the grapes sugar and flavor levels to develop while retaining a balanced natural acidity.

Wine experts laud the Currency Creek region for producing consistent style, ultra premium quality and outstanding varietal definition wines. It is here that the Shaw family has sufficient acerage to produce wines of very high quality but with an economy of scale to allow everyday pricing.

This Merlot is a great value for its multi-faceted fruit and spice character. The blackcurrant and cherry fruit aromas are enhanced by lavender and herbaceous undertones. The well structured, soft, full palate of mulberry and cherry fruit is highlighted by cedary notes. Exhibiting good length and persistent soft tannins, this is a wine that drinks well on its own as well as having enough structure to pair nicely with stews and roasted meat dishes.
