Tasting notes: Dry, medium-bodied with bright strawberries, raspberries, and red plum fruits. The Stettyn Merlot tends to emphasize late harvesting to gain optimal grape ripeness and produce a ruby red colour and intense red fruits. Subtle oak ageing in small French and American barrels helps round out the fruit forward palate. This wine presents with a soft and approachable style for early enjoyment but can benefit from 2 – 4 years of cellaring.
Food pairing suggestions: Roast or grilled chicken with creamy garlic and mushroom sauce. Lamb chops with a tomato-based sauce and mint jelly.
