About the wine
Juicy, flavoursome and dripping with quality.
- Prepare your tastebuds - Liz's sell-out Merlot is back! With an irresistible nose of ripe cherry, plum and touch of fresh mint, you'll be hard pressed not to dive in to your glass. The aromas continue on the carefully structured mid-palate, with a lingering finish that will make your food match sing even more.
- The Merlot was fermented with a typical Bordeaux style yeast strain to show off the full potential this gorgeous grape varietal. The malolactic ferment was managed with gentle pumpovers to maximize colour extraction while maintaining the juicy soft tannins and classic warming Merlot characters we all love so much.
- Ageing a wine of this quality in French oak has ensured another winning Merlot from Liz, which will no doubt put on a repeat performance after the last vintage flew out the door. It returned Angel praises to the tune of a huge 94% buy-again rating! Don't dilly-dally, pop this boutique-run winter treat in your basket today.
Best before
Drinking fantastically at the moment, this Merlot will continue to improve over the next five to eight years.
Serving advice
Let the wine breathe for an hour or so before drinking or decant to speed up the breathing process. In hotter weather, try putting the wine in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes so it is not so warm and cloying.
Food match
Great with a rack of lamb, ratatouille and olive tapenade; or braised rabbit with mushroom pie.
