Villa Maria Hawkes Bay Reserve Merlot 2021 750ml

The Reserve Merlot reveals a saturated deep purple colour and perfumed aromatics of red and black plum, fruitcake and floral violet notes, interwoven with roasted coffee bean and complex herb nuances. The palate is concentrated and firmly structured in its youth with fine-grained tannins enhanced by integrated oak.

• This wine will certainly benefit and gain additional complexity from careful cellaring over the next decade.
• A powerful wine that pairs well with red meat dishes.
