Trinity Hill Hawke’s Bay Merlot 750ml

Hawke’s Bay, on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island, is the country’s leading region for red Bordeaux varieties. Its warm, dry growing season and gravelly soils ripen Merlot fully while keeping the freshness New Zealand wines are known for.

Trinity Hill is one of Hawke’s Bay’s most respected producers and a pioneer of the region’s Gimblett Gravels district. Its Hawke’s Bay Merlot is made in a supple, fruit-forward style: smooth and approachable, with enough structure for a proper meal.
