Selaks Founders

Selaks Founders Limited Edition Merlot

Selaks Founders Limited Edition Merlot

The 2024 vintage has been particularly outstanding for wine in Hawke’s Bay. The region’s favorable weather conditions enabled the vines to achieve perfect ripeness, resulting in wines that are full of character. This Merlot captures the essence of the vintage, showcasing impressive flavour intensity and depth, that reflects the exceptional growing season.

Sourced from Selak’s Corner 50 Vineyard Estate, this Merlot benefits from the unique terroir of Hawke’s Bay. The grapes were carefully harvested and destemmed, followed by a wild fermentation, enhancing the wine’s complexity and adding layers of flavour. The wine was aged in barrels for 8 months before undergoing 100% malolactic fermentation, which contributes to its velvety finish.
