WHO IS THE SCOOTER?

The Scooter was named after Sparky, who raced a big tyre scooter when he was younger.

TASTING NOTES:

This vibrant and lifted Merlot exudes rich plum flavours with undertones of both red and dark fruit and a soft touch of oak. As the wine develops in the glass, layers of chocolate, nutmeg and cinnamon spice come to the fore. The soft mouth-feel and tannin integration allow for all the beautiful flavours of this wine to shine through.
