THE WINE

This Merlot is sourced from the renowned Hawkes Bay winegrowing region of New Zealand. Bright aromas of blueberry and baking spice are followed by notes of plum, fig and tobacco. A soft mouthfeel leads to well textured tannins. This wine combines the elements of aroma, flavour and balance that Merlot is known for.


THE REGION

The region is blessed with a kaleidoscope of fertile soils ranging from gravel to sandy loam.
