Monowai Hawkes Upper Reaches Merlot 2020

Only produced in excellent vintages, the Upper Reaches range showcases Monowai's unique cool-climate site, their years of winemaking and viticultural experience all over the world and their commitment to bringing this all together to make something extra special. This Merlot is dark and brooding, richly perfumed with ripe plum, vanilla and toasty oak aromas. Fresh bramble fruits dominate on the palate and the chalky tannins are balanced by a fresh acid backbone, giving a wine which is velvety, inviting and full bodied.
