Petal & Stem Merlot

Journey into the wildflowers, a secret world between the vines where insects dance from petal to stem, a flourishing ecosystem amongst the rows. It’s all part of the Petal & Stem’s project to protect the vines and keep pests away naturally. So as you’re busy enjoying this wine, remember these little friends between the flowers who help to do things both differently, and beautifully.

The 2021 growing season in Hawke’s Bay was of exceptional quality. This Merlot was picked in excellent condition, achieving ripe tannins and concentrated flavour.
