Under Oaks Merlot

Cool climate Merlot with natural balance and complex and powerful flavours.

Merlot is an excellent food wine due to its soft tannins, medium-high acidity, and enjoyable fruit flavours.. It can be paired with a wide range of dishes, from charcuterie and cheese to pork and veal. The light meat from poultry, chicken, turkey, and duck goes well with the fruity flavours and soft texture of the wine. The salty and savoury flavours of semisoft cheeses like Gruyère, Comté, Emmenthal and Gouda will fit Oudebrug Merlot well. And the earthy flavours of this wine will pair exceptionally well with dishes containing roasted vegetables or mushrooms.

Notes of red cherry and ripe plum layered with herbal nuances and hints of oak spice on the nose. A juicy palate with red currants and blueberries gives way to lingering dark chocolate flavours. Well-structured with refined tannins and a lengthy finish.
