Tribute Hawke’s Bay Merlot | Malbec 2025

Combining the elegance and velvety richness of Merlot with the bold, dark berry intensity and savoury spice of Malbec. With notes of ripe berries, oak and vanilla, this beautifully structured blend is aged for 15 months in French oak barriques, allowing the wine to develop greater depth, complexity and subtle spice while maintaining its vibrant fruit character. Offering layers of plum, blackberry and gentle oak influence, Tribute delivers a smooth, lingering finish and is designed to be enjoyed now while having the structure and balance to reward careful cellaring.

A versatile red blend, it pairs beautifully with grilled and roasted meats, gourmet barbecue, hearty tomato-based dishes, earthy mushrooms, and foods featuring smoky or warming spices.
