New Zealand Merlot and Merlot Blends

New Zealand Merlot and Merlot Blends - A vital ingredient in classic Bordeaux, Merlot has enormous potential in New Zealand, producing red wines of alluring richness and suppleness. When added to Cabernet Sauvignon-based reds, Merlot imparts richness and softness; and many unblended and Merlot dominant wines are now also being produced. It has early drinking appeal and is the perfect match for hearty roast beef.
