SG Wines Gold 6 Bottle Merlot makes a soft and approachable red wine with cherry and red berry notes and a smooth, oaky finish — a small batch to try before scaling up. Gold is a step up from Classic, using higher-quality concentrate for noticeably better flavour and body. Best Before End: February 2026.
