Lone Kauri Merlot 2015

Lone Kauri Merlot 2015 is crafted from select New Zealand vineyards, where ripe Merlot grapes are hand-harvested and gently vinified. Extended maturation in oak and bottle ageing have allowed this wine to develop smooth textures, rich flavours, and elegant maturity, making it a deliciously ready-to-drink Merlot.

Bouquet
Mature and fragrant with aromas of black plum, dried herbs, cocoa, leather, and a hint of cedar spice.

Palate
Soft and mellow with rich dark fruits, savoury earthiness, supple tannins, and a smooth, lingering finish. Harmonious and refined.

Food Pairing
Perfect with slow-braised beef cheeks, mushroom risotto, roast lamb with rosemary, or a classic sharp cheddar platter.

Cellaring
Drinking beautifully now at full maturity. No further cellaring required.
