Theory and Practice Merlot 2020
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
PREMIUM, SMALL-BATCH WINERY CLEARANCE
FULL-BODIED MERLOT SUPERBUY FROM CELEBRATED WINEMAKER, ANT MACKENZIE.
Superb, full bodied Hawke's Bay Merlot exploding with blackcurrant and plum flavours, delicious spicy vanilla notes intertwined with a savoury complexity. The tannins are well balanced and this merlot can be enjoyed with or without food. A seriously banging release from talented winemaker, Ant Mackenzie.
The 2020 vintage is now widely recognised as one of the greatest Hawke's Bay vintages in living memory - a year where every varietal performed to its true potential, and this 2020 merlot displays all the rewards of an excellent growing season. We were super impressed when this came across our tasting table, and at $16.99 on case buys, this is a truly satisfying, proven value drop.

Tasting Notes
A complex, savoury nose black plum and blackcurrant notes. On the palate, it's very full bodied with amazing weight. Notes of vanilla, caramelised sugar and toasted raisin bread come through on the palate as well. Underlying tannins help balance this fruit richness and give the wine structure.
