Mission The Gaia Project Hawke's Bay Merlot 2021
- French oak
- Ripe dark fruit
- Generous
- Soft tannins
Intense dark fruits and ripe flavours married with soft, rich tannins. This wine is generous and well structured with well managed, subtle oak for character.
Sourced from two Gimblett Gravels vineyards in Hawke's Bay, one of which was organically grown. The resultant blend has combined structure and purity with texture and sweetness giving an expressive and vibrant wine.
Fruit was lightly crushed and fermented on skins. The grapes and must were carefully mixed each day for colour and once fermentation was complete they remained a further period on skins until the wine had gained its optimum texture before pressing. Maturation for 12 months in French oak barrels produced a well-structured, fruit-driven, complex style with a full body.
The Gaia Project wines are kind on nature and wild on taste. Every aspect of their creation has been carefully considered to offer wine lovers an environmentally conscious choice with great flavour. The Gaia Project wines reflect our sustainability journey so far, from vineyard to glass.
The embodiment of Mother Nature, Gaia represents Mission’s deep and enduring commitment to our natural world. Seeking to minimise our impact on Earth a little more each day, The Gaia Project unites our many ongoing environmental practices to preserve our Earth for future generations.
