The Nest Merlot 2021 – Six Pack

This Merlot is bright burgundy red in colour. To experience the aroma, imagine it’s Christmas time. Take a seat in the plump leather armchair. As you take a breath, Grandma pulls a Christmas spiced pudding from the oven and tops it with rich, dark fruits.

Now, to taste. Grandma brings you over a cheeky little spoon to sample. It’s a beautiful soft texture, and the devilish, dark fruit flavours fill your mouth. Oh, Granny! She’s certainly earned herself a glass of this New Zealand Merlot.

Do you fancy a glass? It’s not just for Christmas.
