Elegant cool-climate Merlot bursting with fresh plum and spice
This elegant New Zealand Merlot offers an abundance of juicy black plum, bright red currant, and a hint of vanilla. The palate is beautifully structured with soft, velvety tannins and a delicate touch of spice leading into a long, smooth finish.



Oyster Bay captured the world's attention by winning the Best Sauvignon Blanc in the world at the 1991 International Wine and Spirit Competition. Since then, the family-owned winery has dedicated itself to capturing the unique cool-climate intensity of New Zealand in every bottle.
Sourced from the prestigious Hawke's Bay region, one of New Zealand's oldest and sunniest wine-producing areas. The maritime climate and alluvial soils provide the perfect conditions for ripening Merlot grapes with intense varietal character.
