Esk Valley River Gravel Merlot/Malbec/Cabernet is a blend from grapes grown on the stony soils of the Gimblett Gravels in New Zealand.
The vines in the Ngakirikiri, Twyford and Omahu Gravels vineyards are now approaching 20 years of age. Winemakers cropped them at low levels to produce grapes of the highest possible quality.
Vineyard managers employed intensive viticultural practices such as shoot and bunch thinning and leaf plucking over the course of the growing season to further maximise the vineyards’ potential.
These infertile and heat reflective soils produce a powerful, structured wine worthy of an extended wait in the cellar.
Critics widely view this full bodied complex Gimblett Gravels wine as amongst the finest of New Zealand’s red wines. Its pedigree stretches back to 1989.
The individual barrel groups were then blended in January 2021 after 20 months ageing.
39% Merlot; 31% Malbec; 30% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Enjoy Esk Valley River Gravel Merlot/Malbec/Cabernet with grilled and roasted red meats or game. It also shines with mature strong cheeses.
Rich aromas of black fruit, especially blackberry and dark cherry, and fragrant spicy oak dominate this sumptuous red wine. The palate is full-bodied with incredible concentration of supple, rich ripe fruit. It also boasts smooth ripe tannins, beautifully integrated oak and great complexity.
