Savour the smooth, velvety richness of the Hãhã Hawke’s Bay Merlot. Sourced from the sun-drenched vineyards of Hawke's Bay—New Zealand’s premier region for Bordeaux-style reds—this gorgeous Merlot is the epitome of approachable elegance. Staying true to the meaning of Hãhã ("to catch your breath" in Te Reo Māori), this wine captivates from the first sip with its luscious fruit and incredibly supple texture.
Carefully harvested and aged with French oak, this red wine strikes the perfect harmony between vibrant dark fruit flavours and a soft, rounded structure. It is an exceptionally smooth, crowd-pleasing red that is ready to be enjoyed immediately.
�� Tasting Notes
  • Aroma: A fragrant and inviting bouquet of dark plums, wild blackberries, and ripe cherries, accented by subtle hints of dark chocolate, dried herbs, and warm vanilla spice.
  • Palate: Soft, fleshy, and beautifully rounded. Layers of juicy red and black fruits coat the palate, supported by fine, silky tannins and a touch of savory cocoa complexity.
  • Finish: Smooth, warm, and lingering, with a clean finish highlighted by persistent plum fruit and gentle oak spice.
��️ Perfect Food Pairings
Thanks to its soft tannins and generous fruit profile, this Merlot is incredibly versatile at the dinner table. It pairs beautifully with:

  • Slow-roasted lamb shanks with rosemary and garlic
  • Mushroom risotto or rich tomato-based pasta dishes
  • Hard cheeses like aged Cheddar or Gouda
