Redmetal Vineyards is the side project of Sileni’s chief winemaker Grant Edmonds. Grant’s got a tonne of experience (30 plus years!) and has worked with the likes of Villa Maria and Esk as well as a stint over in St Emillon, France. Redmetal Vineyards Merlot Cabernet Franc

He’s a bit batty about Merlot so it’s little surprise that one of Redmetal’s favourite styles is his Merlot Cabernet Franc blend. Hand crafted using premium fruit from the free-draining red metal gravels of the Bridge Pa Triangle district of Hawke’s Bay.

Scoring 4 1/2 Stars with Kiwi wine critic Michael Cooper who said “The very ripe-tasting 2021 vintage (4.5*) is a full-coloured, sturdy red. Weighty and sweet-fruited, it has strong, fresh plum, red berry and spice flavours, with ripe, supple tannins that give it lots of drink-young appeal.”

A real food friendly style, try it with your Sunday lamb roast! Drink now or cellar up until 2029.
