Waddesdon Rothschild Collection Merlot, IGP Pays d'Oc, France
This range of varietal wines, selected by our team at Waddesdon, represents the finest quality 'house wines' we have ever released. This collection of wines offers an impressive level of purity, definition and varietal expression that is rarely associated with this category and price point. After a series of blind tastings our Rothschild Waddesdon range performed exceptionally, and we are incredibly proud to call these wines our own.
Sourced from southern facing vineyards on the edge of Montpellier, with vines approaching 45 years of age. Old vines are not usually the source of fruit for wines that accommodate the sub of £15 bracket. A small proportion of the wine (10%) is aged in French oak. This helps to provide the merlot fruit with spice and texture. Spicy notes with eucalyptus and red fruit aromas on the nose, followed by sweet fruits and mellow tannins on the palate. An approachable and moreish Merlot!
