Wonderfully expressive and beautifully fruited, medium/full bodied with dark red plums, chocolate, boysenberry and floral tones. French oak imparts spice and vanilla. Soft supple tannins and a lingering finish. A lovely expression of the variety offering excellent drinkability. The vibrant varietal characters of this wine may be enjoyed when the wine is young however some cellaring will result in a more rounded, complex wine.

Grapes were picked in several passes from their estate vineyard to obtain a range of ripeness levels and to add complexity. All vines are cane pruned, and bud reduction, shoot thinning and second set removal performed as required.

The 2018 vintage gave them the opportunity to pick Merlot grapes with exceptionally ripe flavours and balanced acidity.

A blend of five individual parcels of Merlot from the vineyard, each parcel fermented, then matured in barrel separately. Fruit from older vines contribute depth and richness to the wine while fruit from younger vines gives vibrancy and beautiful colour. Warm fermentation temperatures up to 28˚C and extended skin contact maximise texture, weight and complexity. Individual barrels were selected for this wine based on quality of texture and tannins, but above all freshness of fruit flavour and aroma.

The classic 1932 Fox Moth aircraft helped open the world up to exciting new horizons of travel and adventure. Do the same for your taste buds with this opulent and appealing Merlot.

From their origins in 1989, establishing both vineyard and winery, Alpha Domus was a pioneer in the renowned Bridge Pa Triangle Wine District of Hawke’s Bay. New Zealand family owned, they have always been inspired to create beautiful wines of worth; the importance of quality and expert craftsmanship paramount. Alpha is derived from the first initials of the founding family members names in age descending order, Anthonius, Leonarda, Paulus, Henrikus and Anthonius, Domus is Latin for home.

Food Pairing: an excellent food wine, ideally suited to red meat dishes and those casual pizza and pasta dinners.

Great Wonderful!!
Color: 6617:Blue Dial and Gold Silver Strap
I've now purchased about 3 of OLEVS watches.. The fit great.. Band is so easy to ajust. I'm super careful. So I took great care and time on the first OLEVS watch. So it took me about 15 mins. Now about 6 from start to finish.. Don't hesitate due to fitting the band. You get to custom fit it to you. And it's easy...real easy. Best of all. You get to keep the adjusting tool they provide...

Gorgeous watch!
Color: Silver, Color: Silver
This is such a beautiful timepiece! After a couple weeks I have yet to have to adjust the time. It keeps time as well as my other olevs that are quartz movement. The price is great, comfortable for all day wear, perfect size for me and the weight definitely feels on par with much more expensive automatic timepieces. This won't be the last olevs I purchase

Beautiful Watch, but . . .
Color: 6617:Blue Dial and Gold Silver Strap
I’m updating this review and lowering to one star. Would be zero if possible. Another 2 weeks of owning this junk watch. I’m now having to wind it daily and reset the time. The only reliable feature is that it’s going to stop in the middle of each night. Piece of junk. Don’t buy. This is a beautiful watch but not very reliable timepiece. This is a self winding watch which requires you to wear it 24/7 in order to keep working. i wanted a nice watch which looked good, kept good time, was affordable and a bit nicer. I work a standard M-F, 8-5:00 workweek. I wear my watch daily for work and on RARE occasions after work or weekends if going out. My watch typically sits on the bedroom dresser after work hours and weekends. I've had this watch about 3 weeks now and have had to wind it and reset the watch three times during the time I've had it. If you are not wearing it for more than a day the watch runs down and and comes to a complete stop. You then need to manually wind and reset. This was a concern after reading other reviews. I tried to find the same watch with a quartz movement and battery for this very reason. But this particular watch only comes in a mechanical self winding version. They have ONE other model with a similar look that has a quartz movement with battery. That watch is made in China; this one is made in the USA. This is another factor that convinced me try the self winding mechanical version. Big mistake, I should have looked at other brands and manufacturers. It turns out this was a regrettable impulse buy based on looks but not practical. It is not a reliable timepiece. Lets face it a watch's function is to reliably tell the correct time; if you're not willing to manually wind it and reset the time and dates every Monday morning this is not a practical timepiece. I would NOT buy this again for this reason.
