Flavour Profile
If you’re a fan of smooth, plummy red wines, this new arrival from New Zealand will be right up your alley. Seismic Merlot is made by talented French winemaker Nicolas Culemme, using fruit from premium Hawke’s Bay vineyards.
Starting his winemaking career in 2005, at Le Centre du Rosé in Provence, Nicolas worked in both France and New Zealand for years, before permanently settling in New Zealand in 2017.
Why Seismic? Hawke’s Bay has been recognised as one of the 12 best wine regions in the world, but it’s also the most earthquake prone region in New Zealand. It lies along the North Island’s fault line and is regularly shaken up by the shifting plates.
This silky red wine boasts plenty of plum fruit and spicy oak aromas, followed by juicy red berry, ripe plum and cherry flavours. Lush and rich, it pairs well with grilled lamb, rich pasta dishes or stews.
