Collection Merlot

Lightly wooded. Gentle berry and vanilla toastiness on the nose with a typically Merlot ripe mulberry rich summer fruit palate. A soft mouthfeel and well-balanced tannins ensure early drinkability.

The wine drinks lovely with stews, chargrilled chicken, venison, lamb, smoked meats and flavourful cheeses.
