Black Barn Vineyards Havelock Hills Merlot Cabernet Franc 2024 is a refined Bordeaux-inspired red, grown on one of New Zealand’s oldest grape-growing sites in Havelock North. With vineyards dedicated primarily to Merlot and Cabernet Franc, Black Barn has established a reputation for producing wines of depth, elegance, and authenticity.

Tasting Notes:
A vivid ruby hue with a purple edge introduces enticing aromas of cassis, black olive, and subtle oak spice. The palate is generous and well-rounded, with layers of dark berry fruit carried by plush tannins and softened by a gentle, balanced acidity. Refined yet approachable, this wine finishes with poise and lingering savoury complexity—an elegant partner to roasted lamb, venison, or aged hard cheeses.
