Matua Single Vineyard Hawke’s Bay Merlot/Malbec (2014)

The dark, purple-flushed 2014 vintage (5*) is a classy, fruit-packed blend from the Matheson Vineyard, in the Bridge Pa Triangle. Hand-picked and matured in French (mostly) and American oak barrels, it is powerful, with concentrated, very ripe plum/spice flavours, a hint of dark chocolate, gentle tannins and a rich, finely textured finish.
