Select Vineyards Gimblett Gravels Merlot Malbec 2016 750ml

Merlot and Malbec both performed with real distinction in Hawkes Bay in 2016. The Merlot parcel was harvested on 28th March and the Malbec on April Fool’s Day! Post ferment and MLF the wines went off to oak. The wine was assembled on 7th July 2017. The final assemblage is 54% Merlot and 46% Malbec. We did not use any new barrels in this assemblage. The wine was bottled in 750ml and larger format bottles on 7th to 9th August 2017
