A Gem of a Wine
Gem Hawkes Bay Merlot 2006
Poulter & Co Wine Merchants
NOW ON PROMOTION
The grapes for this wine were picked from the Western point of the red metals in Hawke's Bay and bled of juice to concentrate fruit and tannin before beginning ferment. It was hand plunged several times a day to achieve ideal tannin and colour extraction, then pressed to French oak barrels - 40 percent new - where it underwent 16 months maturation to allow softening of tannins and marriage of fruit and oak.
Currants and blackberry are layered amongst chocolate, leather and cloves. Hints of smoky spice sneak through the middle palate with a little violet and black plum lifted by firm fine grained tannins.
Save five percent on five case orders; ten percent on ten case orders and 15 percent on orders of one layer (14 cases) or more.

Latest Pinot Noir Release from Three Miners
Three Miners Pinot Noir 2010
Three Miners Vineyards
Three Miners Vineyards is a family-owned estate in Central Otago, situated in Earnscleugh Valley between Alexandra and the historic village of Clyde. The area is where gold was first discovered in New Zealand in the 1860s and hundreds of miners panned and cradled the gold-bearing sands bordering the Vineyard.
Today, Three Miners Vineyards produce high quality award-winning wine from that same soil and is an accredited sustainable vineyard. We are also currently moving towards becoming 100 percent organic.
This new 2010 release of their award-winning Pinot is soft, elegantly textured wine showing redcurrant and blueberry aromatics with plenty of spice, vibrancy and finesse. It is an ideal foil to veal, pork chops, seafood and lamb. Great with white fish or curry.
