Bright ruby in colour with a light red rim. The nose offers upfront aromas of raspberry, graphite and fresh plums. The wine presents fleshy plums and currants on the palate, underpinned by earthy flavours such as tobacco and liquorice.
Due to its position in the middle of the red wine spectrum, Merlot matches with a wide variety of foods. Enjoy the De Grendel Merlot with roast chicken, a simple shepherds pie, or calf's liver and onions with mashed potatoes and gravy.
Enjoy the Merlot now or allow it to mature for a further 3 - 5 years.
