Nice Session Merlot – Low Alcohol Red Wine

Nice Session Merlot Tasting Notes:

Aroma: This low-alcohol Merlot greets the nose with a bouquet of ripe red fruits, notably cherries and plums, intertwined with subtle hints of vanilla and a touch of earthiness reminiscent of a forest floor after rain.

Appearance: The glass is clear and inviting and presents a rich, ruby colour. Its lighter hue towards the edge suggests its lighter alcohol content without compromising on the depth associated with Merlot.

Taste: The wine offers a harmonious balance between fruitiness and structure on the palate. The flavours of dark cherries and blackberries come forward, accompanied by a gentle acidity and soft, rounded tannins that make it approachable and enjoyable. The reduced alcohol content ensures a lighter body, making it a refreshing take on the classic Merlot profile.

Mouthfeel: Despite its low alcohol content, the wine maintains a pleasing, smooth mouthfeel that makes it easy to drink. It finishes clean, with a lingering fruitiness that invites another sip.

Finish: The finish is moderately long, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of ripe fruits with a hint of spice, reflecting the wine’s subtle complexity.
