in the vineyard : Planted alongside another Merlot vineyard and separated only by a small service track the Blitzy Merlot vineyard is indeed a unique plot with a marked individual character.

The Blitzy Merlot vineyard outperforms its neighbour significantly and our team are so specific about selection that they actually mark the best rows within the vineyard and utilise only these in the final blend.

The soil on the lower reaches of the site is more of a duplex type consisting of coarse gravel and sand on clay this gives way to the granite based Oakleaf as the climb begins.
