Description

  • Blackcurrant
  • Roasted nut
  • Mixed spice
  • Fruity finish

"It's fruit forward and immediately appealing with blackberry, sweet cherry, roasted nut and mixed spice aromas. The palate offers juicy fruit flavours with supple mouthfeel, leading to a lengthy fruity finish. Approachable and friendly. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2021

An extremely deep garnet red. An expressive bouquet unveiling notes of red fruit, blackcurrant and cherry. With a very long finish, this wine reveals smooth and silky tannins.

The Vin de Pays d'Oc winegrowing region is omnipresent in Languedoc. It extends from the south of the Côtes du Rhône to Carcassonne.

100% Merlot which produces very varietal wines and powerful aromas. Originates from the Bordeaux winegrowing region and well acclimatized to the terroirs in the south of France (over 68,000 ha).

The grapes are harvested when ripe, destemmed, crushed and then fermented for 6 to 12 days. The fermentation temperature is kept below 32°C and the wine is gently pressed. Lastly the wine is racked, filtered and bottled.

Food Pairing: The perfect accompaniment to white meats, poultry, barbecues, salads and a variety of cheeses.
