Oyster Bay Merlot is a testament to the quality and craftsmanship of New Zealand winemaking. Produced by Oyster Bay, this red wine hails from Marlborough, a region better known for Sauvignon Blanc but increasingly celebrated for its refined expressions of Merlot. With a cool maritime climate, ample sunshine, and long growing seasons, Marlborough provides the ideal conditions for Merlot grapes to mature slowly and evenly, creating wines with intense flavour and natural elegance.

This Merlot captures the varietal at its best—offering rich red fruit character, soft yet structured tannins, and a smooth finish that’s both refreshing and satisfying. Oyster Bay’s approach to winemaking centres on showcasing varietal purity, which means minimal intervention in the winery and a strong focus on the vineyard. Gentle oak ageing adds subtle complexity without overshadowing the fruit-driven nature of the wine.

Oyster Bay Merlot is an ideal choice for those looking for wine delivery Ireland, whether you're enjoying a quiet night at home or stocking up for entertaining. Its soft, approachable character makes it incredibly food-friendly, while the layered fruit profile and fine structure give it enough depth to impress more discerning palates. A reliable favourite in any wine shop Dublin, it’s also a fantastic option if you're looking to order wine online with confidence.

Food Pairings

Oyster Bay Merlot pairs beautifully with a variety of foods, making it a flexible addition to your table. Try it with grilled lamb chops, roast pork, or duck breast for a classic match. The wine’s plum and berry tones enhance the savoury richness of these meats, while the smooth tannins complement their texture.
