Tasting Notes
Matakana Estate’s Hawkes Bay grapes hail from the stony terraces, gravel beds and free-draining alluvial soils in the renowned. Our Merlot has a rich nose of blackcurrant and damson plum, with smooth tannins and a spiced mocha finish.
Suggested Food Matches
Our Merlot shines best with juicy rip eye, lamb burger or a gooey baked brie.
