Elephant Hill Hawke’s Bay Merlot 2018 750ml

This wine displays juicy, rich Black Doris plum and cassis flavours with well-balanced acidity and fine-grained tannin. Dangerously drinkable and ready to go.

This is a blend of 99% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. The wine has had 35% new French Oak treatment, aged in a barrel for 10 months with no racking or fining. It was then transferred into our stainless steel tanks where it spent another 8 months on lees before being filtered for bottling.
