Trinity Hill TRINITY Merlot Cabernets Syrah Merlot Cabernet Hawke's Bay NZ
Description: The musts from each grape variety, 44% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Franc, 12% Syrah and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, are prepared separately, and blended after 12 months ageing in French oak. The result is a complex, fruit dominant wine, with many nuances on both the nose and palate. The blackberry and black pepper nuances of Syrah, the leather and plum aromas of Merlot, the aromatic spice and red currant character of Cabernet Franc plus the cassis and spine from Cabernet Sauvignon, have combined to produce a complex, fruit dominant wine. The sensitive oak ageing has added a further dimension to the wine without being obvious. Richness and soft, ripe tannins make this wine a serious yet eminently drinkable wine. (12 x 75 cl)

Blue Nun Merlot is a beautifully soft, mellow, rounded wine, bursting with berry flavours. One of the world’s oldest German wine brands it was created in 1921 by H Sichel Sohne. From there it has grown to international proportion becoming loved worldwide and in 1995 Sichel merged with Langguth and Blue Nun was born again. Made in the Languedoc region of France after detailed consumer research into the Blue Nun brand. Consumers were keen to have a red wine made from the Merlot grape and they did not see Blue Nun as inherently German but more as a global brand. As a result of this research F.W.Langguth, the producer of Blue Nun, have developed a meduim bodied, softer, rounded Merlot which is in a very easy drinking style. (12 x 75 cl)
