Description

*** LIMITED TIME SPECIAL ***

raspberRY, CHERRY AND RIPE PLUM

Complex red berry and raspberry jam fruit with subtle cinnamon and vanilla flavours.

This Merlot displays the wonderful fruit flavours of black fruit, raspberry, cherry and ripe plum. These are nicely integrated with caramel and vanilla oak characters to create a smooth and enjoyable red wine.

A versatile wine which makes a great accompaniment to most food, particularly tomato based pastas and sausages.

Merlot as a variety tends to be lower in tannins and is often blended with other varieties to add softness. On its own, merlot produces a smooth, rich wine with little maturation required. The fruit for this wine was picked just as the grapes flavours were at their prime. Harvest was carried out in the cool of the evening and the fruit was crushed and fermented on skins delivering the rich colour. The wine was then matured in both tank and oak before filtering and bottling.

What a great Merlot - this quality at such an affordable price. Very smooth and so easy to drink. Had a lot of comments on it at our wedding reception. This one is a must have for me.

I have sampled wines costing at least three times the price of this wine and found them to have barely a fraction of the flavor and enjoyment.

My goodness, the taste is not reflected in the labeling. Took a punt and it paid off, this Merlot is so much smother and drinkable than expected onto our 3rd order :)

This Merlot is one out of the box! Don't be thinking the price indicates quality, it absolutley does not! I am on my second dozen in this beauty now and will be looking for more. Give this smooth wee beauty a go, you won't be disappointed.
