The exact moment of harvest is a precise matter, but leave that to Croix d'Or. At the perfect ripeness, the Merlot grapes are harvested at night. This minimizes the risk of bruising and helps them retain their freshness. We taste this in this beautiful, velvety-smooth red wine. And at this price, it's no wonder many restaurants serve this red wine as a house wine. This is a house wine with a golden edge.
Just open the cap and you're instantly captivated. Close your eyes and imagine the French sunshine. This red Merlot will transport you to the South of France, releasing aromas of ripe black fruit like blackberries and plums, a touch of chocolate, and of course, a generous dose of blackcurrant. The palate is so soft, like falling into a warm bed. Ripe fruit notes create a very pleasant mouthfeel, along with a nice dose of spice and a touch of toffee. On the palate, this red Croix d'Or Merlot continues to surprise you with notes of blackberries, cherries, and some sweet spices like cinnamon. In short, a velvety-smooth wine with an attractive and robust character.
