Merlot

Viticulture: Sun worshiping, open armed lyre trellised vines, ensure maximum fruit ripeness. Oakleaf and weathered granite soils ensure these vines are planted in soils rich in organic matter. Vinification: A long skin fermentation with lots of aeration is followed by oak maturation for 12 to 18 months in 225l French oak barrels. Tasting note: A mid-palate of sweet raspberry and red plum is complemented by chocolate flavours from careful oak ageing. This wine is beautifully smooth with fine, mouth-filling tannins.

Pairs well with duck, lamb, sirloin steak and pastas as well as being a delicious partner to chocolate and mint desserts.
