Mission Estate RESERVE Gimblett Gravels Merlot 2021
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
GOLD MEDAL | Hawke's Bay Wine Awards 2023
FIVE STARS 93/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit - "Well framed by fine tannins, finishing long and satisfying."
4.5 STARS | Michael Cooper
The Mission Estate Reserve range offers outstanding value for money and the 2021 Gimblett Gravels Merlot demonstrates why. This rich and rewarding wine has been barrel aged and is packed with the dark fruit flavours that the Gimblett Gravels is known for. And with just the right level of velvety tannins, this makes for a truly beautiful glass of wine. The previous vintage won trophies and gold medals galore, and we expect this new vintage to follow suit. Highly recommended.

Tasting Notes
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Splendidly fruited and instantly appealing on the nose with blackcurrant, vanilla, roasted nut and mixed spice aromas, it's plump and flavoursome in the mouth offering excellent weight and persistency. Well framed by fine tannins, finishing long and satisfying."
The winery writes "This attractive Reserve Merlot from the Gimblett Gravels district in Hawke’s Bay shows dark plum, cassis, cedar and game characters with nuances of thyme and clove notes."
