"Delightfully fruited and fragrant, showing sweet cherry, olive, nutmeg and floral aromas, leading to a silky palate offering juicy fruit flavours with supple texture and gentle tannins. Immediately approachable and enjoyable." - Sam Kim
Produced from organically farmed vineyards in Uclés (Castile, Spain), managed as an integrated ecosystem and studded with centenary oak trees. The region’s continental climate with sunny days and cool nights allows it to achieve intense fruit and excellent varietal definition while retaining remarkable freshness.
This is a lovely drop of Merlot, demonstrating the wine skills of the Languedoc Roussillon area. I holidayed in the region some years ago and loved their wines - great to see them this side of the world and available. Versatile, easy drinking. So good my neighbour has also bought a case after tasting mine!
As an aperitif or companion to a variety of fish, white meat or vegetarian meals including milder curries or salads, this rose works well. It is both fruity (melon, berry notes) to start and slightly acidic at the finish. It is simply pleasurable drinking at a reasonable price and has become something of a personal favourite.
