Description

The 2024 vintage has been particularly outstanding for wine in Hawke’s Bay. The region’s favorable weather conditions enabled the vines to achieve perfect ripeness, resulting in wines that are full of character. This Merlot captures the essence of the vintage, showcasing impressive flavour intensity and depth, that reflects the exceptional growing season.

Sourced from Selak’s Corner 50 Vineyard Estate, this Merlot benefits from the unique terroir of Hawke’s Bay. The grapes were carefully machine harvested and destemmed, followed by a wild fermentation, enhancing the wine’s complexity and adding layers of flavour. The wine was aged in barrels for eight months before undergoing 100% malolactic fermentation, which contributes to its velvety finish.

 

Deep red in colour. Bright blackcurrant aromas with subtle nuances of fresh, new leather. Succulent flavours of dark red plum, rich mocha, toasted nuts and delicate floral notes, complimented by elegant,silky tannins.
