Tasting Notes
In the glass: a clear ruby red with violet glints. On the nose: fresh red cherries, ripe plum and a hint of black fruit, layered with gentle spice and herbal notes suggestive of its valley terroir. On the palate: smooth and inviting with hints of cherry and plum dominate, supported by soft vanilla or light oak flavour. Tannins are soft, the body medium, and the finish balanced and refreshing.
Food Pairing
Versatile and friendly, this Merlot pairs beautifully with grilled lamb chops seasoned with rosemary, rosemary-roasted chicken, or a hearty mushroom risotto. Tomato-based pastas and mild cheeses also complement its flavour profile. Locally, it will stand up well to nyama choma, spiced beef skewers or a rich vegetable tagine — the fruit and spice give it broad pairing power.
