Vinification

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 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.

Appearance

Deep Ruby

Bouquet

Aromas of blackberry, plum and vanilla, with a hint of spice.

Palate

Full bodied and weighty, this Merlot has bold and fruit forward flavours of dark plum, blackcurrant, and dark chocolate notes. The structure is silky smooth with a long toasty finish.

Cellaring

Enjoy now or if you’re a sadistic cellaring type, cellar up to 7 years.

Packaging

6 x 750ml bottles, screw cap closure.
