EarthGarden Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 6x75cl

• 75cl bottle

Deep purple coloured hues lead to a perfumed nose of dark fruits, cocoa, sweet vanilla and clove spices. The full bodied palate is soft and generous with ripe fruit, silky tannins and a smooth finish.

Vintage

The Hawkes Bay 2020 vintage followed an incredible summer, reds in particular enjoyed superb conditions for ripening.

Winemaking

Upon crushing the grapes were inoculated with BioGro approved yeast. Post fermentation the wine was pressed to oak barriques, 25% new, for 18 months maturation.

Enjoy with:

• Grilled and Roasted Red Meats
• Pizza/Pasta
• Casseroles/Stews
• Mature Strong Cheeses

Particularly good when paired with robust, full flavoured dishes both with red meat and without.
