Church Road One is a range of single vineyard wines that typify the character and personality of our best winegrowing sites. Great Merlot has feeling of weight and plushness on the palate whilst retaining fruit freshness and vibrancy. A hard grape to grow and make well, Merlot performs to the highest standard in only a handful of viticultural regions around the globe. One of those regions is Hawke's Bay where it excels in our moderate climate, when grown with care and respect on the right soil types.
