Light, juicy Merlot made for a gentle chill

Petit Rouge!! is organically grown Merlot from Micah’s Candlebark vineyard in the Macedon Ranges. The fruit was hand-picked and cold-soaked as whole bunches for four days before wild fermentation, then aged across terracotta amphora and a seasoned 300-litre oak barrel.

Red plum leads the way, carried by bright acidity and fine, dusty tannins. Light, fresh and supremely drinkable, it is the kind of red that comes alive with a gentle chill and disappears quickly on a warm afternoon.

Like all DEFIALY wines, it was wild fermented, unfined and unfiltered, with only a tiny sulphur addition of 15ppm.

Why we love it

Juicy, light and wonderfully refreshing, with red plum, lively acidity and dusty tannins making every glass far too easy to finish.

About the Winemaker
Based in the Macedon Ranges, Micah Hewitt is the talented force behind the DEFIALY label — though he’d be the first to laugh off such praise. Approachable, humble and genuinely grateful to do what he does, Micah makes wines that reflect his character: honest, thoughtful and crafted with intention.

Micah's background as a butcher and love for pairing good wholesome country-style food with honest wines provides abundant inspiration. DEFIALY is a story of hard work and perseverance, and the results speak for themselves.

DEFIALY: “Don’t Ever Forget I’ll Always Love You.”
