Wine Characteristics

Tasting Notes

Rich and fruit-forward with low tannins and a soft, mellow character — Merlot at its most approachable. Light oak adds gentle structure without overpowering the fruit. One of the world’s most popular red varieties for good reason: smooth, versatile, and easy to enjoy. Improves with 1–2 months of bottle ageing.
