Pleasant aromas of integrated oak and ripe black currants dominate the entry into this fine Merlot. The palate consists of black cherry and blueberry flavours with a spicy edge. The finish is soft and rich with grainy tanning and a layer of spicy oak, which lingers subtly. The fruit selected to produce this fine Merlot was grown in the Hawkes Bay region, on the East coast of New Zealand. The Bullrush vineyard is situated in the red metals triangle area, which is renown for its red metal soils and production of high quality red wine varieties. The vineyard uses vertical shoot positioned trellis on which to train the vines and these are pruned to maintain a production of three to four tonnes per acre. Leaf removal in the fruit band to expose the grapes to sunlight and free flow of air has been an important factor in maximising flavour development.
