Blend of wines coming from the Herault area (49%), the Aude area (6%) and the Gard area (45%). Coming from different regions of the Languedoc (The Aude, the Herault and the Gard) where each offers a different type of soil (schist, marls, chalk and clay).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hot and windy Mediterranean climate, along with the interesting diversity in the soils of these 3 areas, result in powerful and fruity wines. Optimum ripeness of the grapes - de-stalking and crushing of the grapes – a part of the harvest benefits from a “flash détente” process to enhance an optimum level of color and fruity aromas – the other part follows a traditional alcoholic fermentation in vats with 2 rack and return per day. Long maceration (3 weeks) with micro oxygenation before malolactic fermentation in vats to develop the color and to supple the tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood Pairing: red meat, poultry, pasta and cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EuroVintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51584307429693,"sku":"BG1RMERL24","price":95.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/22950-1.jpg?v=1729033758","url":"https:\/\/www.blackmarket.co.nz\/products\/b-g-reserve-merlot-2024-france","provider":"Black Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
