Our Review
Melbourne solicitor George Kefford, with wife Jacky, runs Merricks Estate as a weekend and holiday enterprise. It produces distinctive, spicy, cool-climate shiraz, which has accumulated an impressive array of show trophies and gold medals. The fully mature vineyard and skilled contract winemaking by Simon Black are producing top-class wines. -JAMES HALLIDAY
