GRAPE VARIETY

Merlot

WINEMAKING

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.

TASTING NOTES

Brilliant garnet red colour. The nose reveals nice aromas of ripe fruits (strawberry, blackberry) with delicate coffee notes. Harmonious and elegant on the palate, offering a round structure, full of red and black berries.

PAIRING

Red meat, pasta, poultry, or strong cheeses. Best served between 16°C and 18°C / 60°F and 65°F.
