Description
- Toasty oak
- Dark berries
- Mixed spice
- Elegant structure
"It’s brightly fruited and beautifully fragrant on the nose showing red plum, pomegranate, olive and floral aromas, leading to a succulent palate that’s silky and gentle. Fruity and smooth with supple mouthfeel, making it immediately appealing. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2023
A complex Marlborough Merlot bursting with dark berry fruit and mixed spice with a perfectly balanced elegant structure. Harvested from a number of naturally low cropping vineyards in Marlborough’s Rapaura sub region, this merlot is intensely concentrated with aromas of ripe blackcurrant, dark plum and black cherries and a hint of toasted oak to finish. Drinking beautifully from the outset, this wine will mature into a fuller more complex wine that can be enjoyed for the next seven years or beyond.
The young wine was kept in contact with skins and tasted daily until the right extraction and balance was achieved then gently pressed.
Food Pairing: Beautiful with Chinese style crispy duck pancakes.
