Paritua Vineyards and Winery

Stone Paddock Merlot 2016 Hawke’s Bay

Classic and enticing aromas of dark plum and blue fruits, brown spices of clove and vanilla then a mild toasty wood layer. Dry, youthful and focused on the palate with a core of flavours that reflect the plums and blue fruit flavours then wood and baking spices. Firm tannins, medium+ acidity and lengthy finish. Lovely balance and food friendly attributes. Drink now and through 2024.
