Mud House Hawke's Bay Merlot is a testament to the rich, fruit-forward wines for which Hawke’s Bay is celebrated. This Merlot offers a harmonious blend of dark cherry and mocha spice aromas, making it a delightful choice for any wine enthusiast.
Tasting Notes
This medium-bodied Merlot showcases classic aromas of spicy fruit cake, dark cherries, and mocha spice. On the palate, it reveals flavors of blackcurrants, liquorice, and dried herbs, supported by fine-grained tannins that provide a smooth yet concentrated texture. The wine's ruby red hue adds to its visual appeal, making it a feast for the senses.
Winemaking
Sourced from carefully selected vineyards in Hawke’s Bay, the oldest wine region in New Zealand, this Merlot benefits from the region’s diverse soils, including clay loam, sands, and free-draining gravels. After harvesting, the fruit is de-stemmed and fermented in stainless steel for ten days, with regular pump-overs to extract color and flavor. The wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation in stainless steel before being naturally fined and bottled.
Food Pairing
Mud House Hawke's Bay Merlot is versatile and pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. Its robust flavors make it an excellent match for hearty meals like beef stew, grilled lamb, or pork loin. It also complements vegetarian options such as mushroom risotto and roasted vegetables.
Why You'll Love It
This Merlot offers a rich and satisfying drinking experience, balancing bold flavors with a refined finish. Whether you're enjoying a casual dinner or celebrating a special occasion, Mud House Hawke's Bay Merlot is sure to impress with its depth and complexity.
