Marlborough 40% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon

The Hans Family Estate blend, comprising 40 percent Merlot, 30 percent Cabernet Franc, and 30 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, hails from the remarkable Marlborough region, renowned for its exquisite viticulture. This red wine delivers a beautifully balanced and full-bodied experience, with each varietal contributing unique characteristics. The Merlot imparts a velvety smoothness, the Cabernet Franc brings delightful floral notes and a touch of spice, and the Cabernet Sauvignon adds depth and complexity with its robust tannins. Together, they create a harmonious symphony of flavors, from ripe blackcurrant and dark cherries to subtle hints of tobacco and cedar. The fresh acidity adds brightness and lifts the fruit-forward palate, culminating in a lingering, elegant finish. This expertly-crafted blend showcases Marlborough's ability to produce outstanding red wines that not only delight the senses but also embody the region's winemaking excellence.

New Zealand's Marlborough region is arguably its most important, a name synonymous with the country's distinctive world-class Sauvignon Blancs. Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc—with its tropical fruit, gooseberry and herbaceous notes—is one of a kind. And it is all thanks to Marlborough's terroir: a large, gravelly river valley inland of Cloudy Bay at the northeast tip of the South Island, it enjoys long, warm, maritime-influenced summers. But Marlborough isn't only about Sauvignon Blanc. The region also produces exceptional Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, sparkling wine and both dry and sweet Riesling.
