Oyster Bay Merlot 2008
Merlot
Captivating fragrant cherry, berry fruits and black plum, with beautifully integrated spice and alluring fine grained tannins
The Hawke’s Bay wine region is arguably the most exciting find in recent times for the cultivation of merlot in New Zealand. Ancient alluvial river terraces provide for a superb mix of soils over gravelly, free-draining sub soils, with an abundance of pure river water for irrigation.
With a temperature maritime climate, the vines are warmed by strong clear sunlight during the day and cooled at night by the sea breezes of the Pacific Ocean. This is the unique environment in which merlot produces its vibrant, fully ripened varietal flavours. Essentially Oyster Bay Merlot is about elegance and intensity of fruit. The hero is always freshness of ripe fruit, spice and soft tannins of the palate.
Glass $9.00 ½ Litre $41.00 Bottle $59.00
Oyster Bay Chardonnay 2008
Marlborough
Bright citrus with hints of stonefruit, stunning fruit concentration accentuated with a creamy texture and sublime zesty undertones
Oyster Bay Marlborough Chardonnay truly captures the character of Marlborough with pure, incisive, ripe fruit flavours. A combination of barrel and tank fermentation and the stirring of yeast lees achieves maximum softness, integration and texture. A sublime expression of fruit from Marlborough’s unique cool climate and soils.
