VNO Merlot 13.75%, 750ml

The Hawke’s Bay is famous for full flavoured Merlot. An exceptionally dry Spring resulted in small balanced canopies and early development stages. A very warm Summer with timely rainfall around veraison was followed with rapid ripening to an early vintage. These Merlot grapes were picked full of flavour and excellent quality.

THE WINERY

• The palate is smooth and stylish with flavours of ripe fruit, soft tannins, oak and a long finish.

THE MEAL
