Description

• Dark plum
• Violet

• Upfront & approachable

"Youthfully charming and immediately appealing, the wine shows dark plum, blueberry, violet, subtle spice and toasted almond characters on the nose. It's equally delightful on the palate, delivering juicy fruit flavours together with supple mouthfeel, finishing smooth and lingering. Upfront and very approachable. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2020

A vibrant Merlot with dark plum, blueberry, toasted almond and spice notes. Delicious paired with a rich tomato based pasta or any chocolate based dessert. 

Deep, rich purple colour in the glass, aromas of dark plum, blueberry, violets and a hint of spice. The palate is juicy and rich, this wine delivers juicy fruit flavours along with a supple mouthfeel, finishing smooth and lingering.

Grown in the elevated terraces along the Ngaruroro river in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand. A fantastic growing season with warm and dry summer ensured that the grapes had stunning flavour development and were harvested at peak ripeness. Made with 100% Merlot grapes, the wine was fermented in a mixture of oak barrels and stainless steel tanks and 50% aged in French oak barrels for 10 months.

Food Pairing: Perfect with rich tomato based pasta and any kind of chocolate dessert.
