Awarded 4 Stars
Cuisine Magazine Nov 2020
Description
- French oak
- Dry style
- Dark fruits
- Savory olives
This 2020 Merlot is a deep plum red in colour with an intense nose of blackcurrants, wild berry and ripe black Doris plums. The palate is full bodied with dark fruity elements and hints of savoury olives and warmed tar. You won’t want it to end.
Sourced exclusively from a select blend of vineyards in the Hawke’s Bay region. SWNZ Certified, 2020.
The harvested fruit was transported overnight from Hawke’s Bay to our Marlborough winery. On arrival, the grapes were inoculated with yeast to begin the fermenting process. We regularly plunged and pumped-over for high flavour extraction during fermentation. The wine was carefully pressed, and matured in a combination of stainless tank and French oak up until time of bottling. Enjoy now or—if you’re a sadistic cellaring type—cellar up to 7 years.
