Oyster Bay Merlot

We had to go out of our way to find the best place to grow Merlot. In the Hawke’s Bay we discovered perfection. New Zealand’s warmest grape growing region. From its abundant, clear sunlight and ancient soils comes a Merlot that excites the senses with its fragrance, softness and elegant fruit intensity. Aged in French oak barriques to impart complexity, the heroes in our Oyster Bay New Zealand Merlot Red Wine are always freshness of ripe fruit, spice and soft tannins on the palate. A wonderful Merlot red wine perfectly crafted to accompany any special moment. Taste notes of bright cherry aromas and rich plum with subtle spice and a soft lingering texture. Pairs perfectly with rich Italian-inspired dishes and red meats. Made to be enjoyed upon release and will reward with two to three years cellaring.
