Description
Winemaking
Deep crimson red hues lead to bright aromatics of black plums and berry fruits with subtle vanilla and cedar oak undertones. A sweet-fruited and textured palate possessing supple tannins makes this a versatile food wine and suitable for any occasion.
High sunshine hours and low rainfall make Hawkes Bay New Zealand’s ‘home’ to the French Bordeaux variety Merlot. Sourced from vineyards across the region on free-draining gravel soil the fruit is destemmed & crushed to fermentation vessels, then plunged or pulsed with oxygen to extract colour and flavour prior to maturation.
