Hawke's Bay Merlot Cabernet
2015
Hawke's Bay Merlot Cabernet
Tasting Notes
Dark plum, blueberry and an earthy spice followed by a touch of vanilla. Blackberry burst leads to Doris plum, with lingering sweet cedar and fruit cake notes. Concentrated fruits and densely structured.
Winemaker Notes
The grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks with frequent pump-overs and plungings to ensure good colour and tannin extraction. The blend was assembled and spent a further six months with oak prior to bottling.
Food Pairing
An ideal partner for an antipasto platter featuring a range of salamis and smoked meats, or any meaty casserole, like lamb shanks.
