Merlot

Merlot Wine is often referred to as “fleshy”, its opulent flavours providing the “flesh” on the bones of classic Cabernet Merlot blends. Its spiritual home is Bordeaux, divided into Left & Right Bank appellations. Left Bank reds are Cabernet dominant with Merlot adding flesh to the palate. The opulent Right Bank reds are Merlot dominant with Cabernets providing additional structure. NZ’s best Merlot Wine comes from the Hawkes Bay.

Merlot is a red wine grape known for producing wines with soft, approachable tannins and a rich flavour profile. Classic notes in Merlot wines include black cherry, plum, and chocolate, often accompanied by subtle hints of vanilla and spice. This combination makes Merlot wines both versatile and crowd-pleasing. Typically, Merlot wines range from dry to off-dry, with a smooth, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel.

  • Puriri Merlot: This New Zealand favourite boasts plush textures with ripe berry, plum, and spice notes, offering a true taste of local winemaking excellence.
