Le Mistral Merlot, Languedoc, Domaine Sainte Rose

This wine is named after the Mistral, a cold wind that blows through the south of France drying the vines and preventing disease. This well-balanced Merlot is soft, subtle style that is as easily paired with pizza and pasta as with your Sunday roast.

Colour: Deep, almost black red with a purple tint Nose: Intense and complex with lots of ripe, black fruit, vanilla and chocolate. There are also hints of black pepper and elegant wood. As this wine matures the spicy, chocolate, mocha and truffle notes will develop, with less obvious fruit. Palate: Well balanced with good structure, soft, ripe tannins and excellent length.
