Description
The moderate climate and gravel-based soils of Hawkes Bay make it an ideal location for Bordeaux varietals such as Merlot. Oyster Bay consistently delivers well-structured wines that are front-loaded with rich fruit aromas and flavours and balanced by a bright and vibrant acidity. An easy choice for grilled meats.

Tasting Notes
100% Merlot. Supple red and black fruit with herbaceous notes, a hint of vanilla and a vibrant curve of acidity. Score - 90. (Decanter Asia Wine Awards, 2018)
