The Catherine Marshall Amatra The Oreads Red is an incredibly complex and wonderfully lush Merlot with a dash of Cabernet Franc. Its bouquet pampers the senses with aromas of black ripe plums and purple fruit, which continue to the full-bodied palate, where a fresh play of acidity brings delicious pleasure. The opulent structure of the wine is skilfully balanced by the well-integrated play of acids and gives this opulent drop a pleasant fresh kick!

On arrival at the winery, the grapes were completely destemmed and, after careful selection, partially crushed and left to ferment spontaneously in small fermentation tanks, where the mash completed the alcoholic (primary) fermentation after a period of 14 days. The juice was then transferred to the basket press, where it was pressed into small French barriques and left to malolactic fermentation. After 12 months of maturation in barriques, the wines were blended and bottled lightly filtered.
