Dark ruby red in colour, this wine opens up with aromas and flavours of ripe black cherry and raspberry. Select lots of this merlot are aged in rum barrels which enhances the notes of baking spice, brown sugar, vanilla, and cocoa. Dark chocolate notes carry through to a long, lush finish.
Pairs well with:
A superb accompaniment to spiced meats and poultry, brie with fig jam, and chocolate desserts.
Winemaking:
Merlot grapes are carefully picked at night and in the early morning to ensure peak ripeness. The wine is then aged and blended to deliver exceptional fruit flavours and complexity. After full malolactic fermentation, a portion of the blend is selected to be aged for an additional 10 months in American oak rum barrels.
