Merlot
Merlot - 2004 - Hunters Wines
Ref: A129104
There are aromas of blackcurrants and black cherries in this medium bodied deep red Merlot, well balanced with spicy oak. The palate is round with ripe fruit and good balance, with soft supple tannins and a long finish with the blackcurrant flavours lingering on the palate.

Since its inception, Hunter's Wines has produced wines of distinctive and outstanding character. The fruit flavours and pure fresh style of the acclaimed Hunter's Sauvignon Blanc creates a lasting impression. It is Jane's guiding principal - to create consistent, quality wines that are also extremely good value.

Hunter's Wines was a pioneer in the development of Sauvignon Blanc Oak Aged and Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough. The Sauvignon Blanc is both a delight and constant challenge to produce, demanding the very ripest fruit and detailed attention in the winery.

In the last 20 years the province of Marlborough has moved from virtual obscurity to become New Zealand’s largest and best-known wine region with a reputation for producing some of the world’s finest Sauvignon Blanc. This huge potential was something that was recognised back in 1983 by Jane Hunter and her late husband Ernie when they founded their first fledgling winery in the picturesque Wairau Valley.

Since those early years Jane has been owner, viticulturist and managing director of what has become one of New Zealand’s most established wineries, Hunter’s Wines. Under her expertise, the original vineyard area has increased by 2.5 times its original size and the company’s annual output has grown to around 60,000 cases of wine, nearly half of which is exported.
