Tasting Notes
Vibrant aromas of ripe blueberries mingle with subtle notes of mulled spice. The full and generous palate delivers a sweetness of ripe plum and forest fruits, complemented by savoury overtones. Beautifully balanced and elegant on the finish.
About
The fruit is sourced primarily from Lake Chalice’s estate-owned Falcon Block, near Renwick in the Rapaura district of the Wairau Valley. The Falcon Block sits on part of an old river bed and as a result has stony, sandy soils. The vines are low yielding but produce intensely flavoured fruit.
The wine is a blend of Merlot 98% with 2% Syrah.
The grapes were carefully sorted and vinified in stainless steel tanks. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was pressed and racked into a combination of French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks where it underwent malolactic conversion.
A portion (60%) of the wine was aged on the lees for a minimum of seven months in seasoned French oak.
Ideal with...
Lean meats make an excellent choice. You can also try pork tenderloin, roast beef, steak, or a filet mignon. Merlots best pairings are chicken and pork.
