Merlot is a precocious red variety that originates from western France.

The grapes chosen for ‘Merlot Vlassides’ are grown in the young vineyard at Karamanos owned by Vlassides Winery. Ageing endows the wine with varietal aromas of forest berries and notes of caramel and vanilla. This is a rich, velvety red wine with a deep reddish purple colour.

Matured one year in oak barrels followed by six months in bottle. Can keep for another six to seven years. Best served between 16 and 18°C.
