When crafting his Merlot, the winemaker gains inspriration by opening bottles of Pomerol from the top chateaux! This has all the wonderful, velvet softness that you expect of Merlot, with ever so much more personality. On the nose, the rounded, supple fruit gains complexity from a roasted pepper and herbal character. The texture is beautifully supple, and the tannin is really refined. A lovely wine with excellent balance.

Common questions

Is Merlot sweet?

No. Merlot is a dry red wine. Its ripe, plummy fruit and soft tannins can make it seem smoother or sweeter than other reds.

What is the difference between Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon?

Merlot is softer and rounder with plum and cherry flavours; Cabernet Sauvignon is firmer and more tannic with blackcurrant flavours. They are often blended together.
