| Tasting Notes |
|
The Home Vineyard Merlot was specially blended as a "one-off" wine for the Waiheke Wine Festival from Waiheke merlot grown from our vineyards. It is a fruity approachable wine, showing the characteristic warmth that is a trademark of Waiheke clay soils. |
| Winemakers Notes |
|
The grapes were hand harvested and whole bunched pressed. The juice was settled for a short period prior to racking to French oak barriques for fermentation and maturation. The wine was aged in barrel on the yeast lees for 8 months prior to blending and bottling. |
| Cellaring |
|
This wine will reward cellaring for 2-4 years but is drinking well now. |
