Cuvar's Merlot Cabernet Franc comes from their Cornerstone vineyard growing in Hawke's Bay's' famed Gimblett Gravels appellation. An area renowned for producing excellent hot climate reds.
In Cuvar's Iris blend, the Merlot sets up the palate with ripeness and structure while the Cabernet Franc brings its sweet dried basil notes to create their deliciously good medium-bodied red
