Deeply coloured, with berry, plum and a touch of anise with a  well rounded finish.

Specially selected from our estate owned vineyards throughout the Hawke’s Bay region, winemakers combine soft Merlot with robust Cabernet Sauvignon resulting in a full flavoured dry red with easy drinking appeal.

The grapes for this Merlot Cabernet were fermented in stainless steel tank. Fermentation took place on skins with careful cap management to avoid over extraction. A period in tank post ferment to aid integration of tannins. Recommended cellaring 7 years.

Food Pairing: This Merlot Cabernet is an ideal partner for an antipasto platter featuring a range of salamis and smoked meats; or any meaty casserole, such as lamb shanks.
