The definition of “deep in thought”, this incredibly rich and bold wine draws aromas of black cherry, plum, nutmeg, fig and vanilla. The palate reflects intricacy of chocolate, cherry, plum and a finish of spice After one sip you’ll know, you had me at Merlot!
Food Pairings
plan your dish
Our Merlot is a very full-bodied wine with a beautiful fruit, chocolate and velvety texture that pairs well with a variety of foods. One classic pairing is with roasted or grilled meats, such as a rack of lamb. The fruit character in the Merlot complement the meat’s flavours, while the wine’s rich tannins help to cut through the richness of the lamb. Another option is to pair it with a hearty steak, such as a juicy rib-eye steak. For a lighter option, try pairing Merlot with roasted vegetables or a mushroom-based dish. Grilled eggplant or zucchini would work well. The wine’s earthy notes complement the savoury flavours of the vegetables, resulting in a delicious and satisfying pairing.
