Zaria are a boutique Hawke's Bay producer with winemaker Bryce Edmonds at the helm. The majority of the fruit for their wines come off their Bridge Pa site, Lesley's Vineyard, and Bryce takes a minimal intervention approach to winemaking.
This is ripe and plush merlot with broody flavours of plum and chocolate backed up by delicious spice. A stunning match for BBQ meats.

The winery writes "Our ’22 Merlot is soft, opulent, elegant and smooth with flavours of boysenberries, red plums and sweet cherries. The palate is silky with very fine tannins giving a smooth texture and lovely length of flavour right across the palate. The Bridge Pa Triangle is the perfect spot for a fine Merlot and this single vineyard, single varietal from 2022 is testament to that."
