Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon & blends
Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot have been long been recognised as ideal blending companions.
These varietals are commonly combined to produce well-balanced wines that feature the strong backbone of Cabernet Sauvignon, and the supple juiciness of Merlot.
All of the fruit for Villa Maria’s Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blends is grown in the Hawkes Bay, home to New Zealand’s Bordeaux varieties.
