The rain eased throughout Spring which allowed our vineyard to produce excellent fruit. Summer showers led to a tricky harvest, however our elevation and vineyard slope allowed the rain to drain out of the vineyard, and our cover crop soaked up the excess water. It was a short harvest period, with just enough sun and warmth to ripen all varieties nicely and we have great concentration and balance in all of our wines this year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PRODUCT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mudgee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merlot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ealcohol volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screwcap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003evolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eweight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewine style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red (Full Bodied)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robert Stein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51619246637289,"sku":"ROSMRL25-FS-PER","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/RobertSteinFarmSeriesMerlot2025.jpg?v=1785849371","url":"https:\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/products\/personalised-robert-stein-farm-series-merlot-2025-13-8-750ml","provider":"The Wine Providore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
