Saint Clair Origin H.B Cabernet-Merlot 2021 750ml

Aromatic spice with rich dark fruits and savoury characters.

Sourced from the highly regarded Gimblett Gravels wine growing district of Hawke’s Bay. The soils are free draining and vigour moderating, providing a great base for growing Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
The fruit was carefully monitored during ripening and harvested in the cool evening at maximum flavour maturity and physiological ripeness.

Dense ruby core and thin rim.

Intense and complex aromas of ripe summery berries and Christmas cake spices.

Full bodied with a medley of fruit flavours up front, incorporating ripe blackcurrant and blackberry. The mid-palate is rich and concentrated, showing fine grained tannin and savoury characters with a hint of charred toast on the finish.

• A perfect match for venison steaks with a wild mushroom sauce.
• Approachable now and will continue to develop positively for five years and beyond.
