A measured expression of strength and style, showing concentrated fruit, fine texture and length that feels inevitable.

Winemakers' Reserve Hawke's Bay Merlot

Babich Winemakers’ Hawke’s Bay Merlot is produced from a special selection of grapes grown in the stony soils of our Babich vineyards in the Gimblett Gravels sub-region of Hawke’s Bay. It displays a wealth of berry fruit and plum aromas, balanced by full-flavoured, soft tannin finish.
