Oyster Bay Merlot is a red wine made from 100% Merlot, sourced from Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. It comes from Delegat's Wine Estate, with fermentation under temperature-controlled conditions and ageing in French oak barriques. The maritime climate of Hawke's Bay allows full phenolic ripeness while retaining natural acidity. The nose opens with bright cherry and ripe plum, then mocha and dried herbs, with violet and sage. The palate is fruit-forward with raspberry and dark cherry, coffee, baking chocolate and licorice, with supple, well-integrated tannins. The finish is smooth and moderately lingering, with berry and chocolate notes, gentle spice and a touch of mint.
