Description

• Red fruit
• Blackcurrants
• Velvet tannins
• Lingering 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

Clear, very intense, garnet red to purple. Aromas of red fruit, blackcurrants, cherries, raspberry jam. Wine with velvet tannins, fine long taste.

100 % Merlot which makes very typical and highly aromatic wine. This is originally from Bordeaux, but it has adjusted very well to southern France (over 68,000 hectares).

The vineyards of Vin de Pays d'Oc can be found everywhere in Languedoc-Roussillon, extending from the south of Côtes du Rhône to Carcassonne.

The grapes are harvested when just ripe, destemmed, crushed and fermented for 6 - 12 days. The fermentation temperature is kept below 32° C and the wine is gently pressed. The best vintages have been Maturing in tanks. Lastly, the wine is racked, filtered and bottled.

Food Pairing: Red wine that may be served with white meat, poultry, grilled meat, salad and many types of cheese.
