WRIGHTS ENTITY SPARKLING MERLOT 2001

This style of wine is fruit-driven, concentrating on the natural flavours in the grape. The ENTITY range of wines has not been produced with animal by-products or dairy products, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians to enjoy. The wine is the first in New Zealand to be fully certified vegetarian through the New Zealand Vegetarian Society.

The grapes come from Reid & Leigh Fletcher's vineyard in Patutahi, Gisborne. Reid and Leigh have been in the wine industry for many years. They produce quality grapes, I was fortunate to obtain a ton of Merlot from their vineyard. The grapes were harvested late in March 2001.

This is definitely a unique wine, medium bodied with berry flavours and soft under tones of oak flavours. This wine is known for its magic with newlyweds. On more than two occasions of an evening of celebration, the Wrights Entity Sparkling Merlot has lead to an addition to the family.

Sorry, this wine has sold out, you may be lucky at some of the outlets.
