The Zapris family arrived in Australia with a strong family tradition of winemaking from Greece almost 55 years ago. The 2nd generation of the family, John Zapris established Sir Paz Estate in the Yarra Valley in 1997.

The hand-picked grapes Merlot was in dark purple color. Having matured for 18 months in French oak barriques, the wine was ripe and dense, with depth flavors of cedar, lavender, black currant & plum, jammy & spicy. Full bodied, with velvety tannins and balanced finish. A judicious choice to rich beef casseroles. Drink now through 2014.
