Oyster Bay Merlot 2020/21, Hawke’s Bay

Description

Oyster Bay has been producing wine of international acclaim since winning the ‘Best International Sauvignon' at the 1991 IWSC. A leading example of the ‘New Zealand Style', fashioned from fruit grown in Hawkes Bay's Bordeaux-esque climate. Plumy, jammy and ripe berry fruits augmented by hints of spice, toasted oak and chocolate aromas are followed by a rich, rounded and fruity palate with subtle oak and spices and an intense finish. Enjoy over the next three years with everything from pizza to spaghetti bolognese and from roast turkey to pork chops. In 2022, this wine won an IWC award for the 2020 vintage.
