2009 Villa Maria Reserve Hawkes Bay Merlot
2009 Villa Maria Reserve Hawkes Bay Merlot
|
|
Trophy for 'Best Merlot" at the Air NZ Wine Awards. The fruit for this wine was grown entirely on the gravely soils of the Gimblett Gravels growing region in Hawkes Bay. The Villa Maria Vineyards Ngakirikiri, Twyford Gravels and Omahu Gravels all contributed parcels of fruit, each with their own unique characteristics. Yields were cropped at 1.75kg/vine producing fruit that was richly concentrated and ripe in flavour.
"A wine of considerable presence, exhibiting blackberry, plum, cedar and spice aromas. A sturdy and weighty palate with a fleshy mouthfeel and excellent fruit concentration." Air NZ Wine Judges
