Selaks East Coast Merlot Rose NZ

Selaks East Coast Merlot Rose NZ from Austria by Selaks (12 x 75 cl)

In the tradition of the Selaks Founders Reserve wines this Merlot has been crafted in an elegant, sophisticated style. Lush, ripe flavours of Cherry and plum are infused with barrel matured characters of vanilla and smoky, charred wood while the palate has excellent structure and balance with fine tannins lingering in a generous finish. The flagship range, Selaks Founders Reserve, regularly takes home Trophies. The best fruit each vintage is selected for this premium range. There are some vintages where no wine will have been produced because the quality of the fruit might not have been to the high standard required for this label that particular year. Matador Estate, a vineyard adjoining the Blenheim Winery, provides excellent fruit for the Selaks range and is renowned for its achievements at the annual Bragato Winegrowers' Vineyard Competition.

Nobilo REGIONAL COLLECTION Merlot East Coast NZ from New Zealand by Nobilo Soft & Supple Reds (6 x 75 cl)

Dark, full and aromatic with an emphasis on blackcurrant and cherry flavours. Cedar, vanilla and coffee oak aromas support the fruit. Tannins are fine-grained and soft. The blend captures the aromatic fruit, dark colour and strong tannins of Cabernet Sauvignon and augments them with the rich ripe fruit and soft tannins of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Grapes are mainly from the Fairhall and Squire Estates and are fermented on skins for 15 to 21 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place and 25% of the wine is aged in new oak barrels. The wine is further barrel aged in a mixture of new and one and two year old American and French oak barrels for 10 months. It is racked at least three times to add further complexity and texture.
