The Reserve Merlot reveals a saturated deep purple colour and perfumed aromatics of red and black plum, fruitcake and floral violet notes, interwoven with roasted coffee bean and complex herb nuances. The palate is concentrated and firmly structured in its youth with fine-grained tannins enhanced by integrated oak. This wine will certainly benefit and gain additional complexity from careful cellaring over the next decade.

Established in 1994 and named after the landmark Wither Hills range that borders the vineyards, the Wither Hills expert team grow and craft expressive wines New Zealanders know and trust to represent quality. Wither Hills Merlot is wonderfully dense yet exquisitely structured and warmly textured, alive with vibrant dark plums, cigar box and chocolate nuances. The essence of Hawke's Bay in a glass.

These wines are at the heart of the Wolf Blass brand - single varietal, fruit driven and South Australian. Yellow Label wines have delivered quality and consistency for more than four decades.

Yealand's wine is inspired by the coast that surrounds them, so close to the ocean that their vines are often misted with sea spray. The beauty of their environment influences how they craft wine, respectful of nature and our land. Yealands believes in sustainable winemaking and creating thoughtfully crafted wines that work in harmony with the landscape.
