Product Description
Great colour and aromas of plum and dark berryfruit are typical of Hawke’s Bay Merlot. Silky tannins give it a soft finish for early drinkability and the depth of fruit gives it the ability to cellar for 4-5 years. Recommended serving temperature 18-20°C.

Winemaking Notes :
This wine is part hand-plunged and part pumped-over during fermentation to aid in colour extraction and to provide tannin structure. After a period of maceration on skins, the wine is pressed off and run into oak barrels for maturation, prior to bottling.
