The Longridge Merlot is ruby red in the glass and ensnares the nose with a slightly hearty bouquet and fine aromas of cedar wood. On the palate, this medium-bodied Merlot has ripe but soft tannins and delicious nuances of ripe plums, red and black berries and aromatic strawberries as well as hints of cocoa, green herbs, dark chocolate and wet stone. Fine notes of vanilla oak wood round off the pleasure in a perfect way. In the finish long and smooth, this great drop lingers for a long time.

Treatment in the cellar

The hand-picked grapes were selected with great care and left to ferment naturally in stainless steel tanks for 10 days. After completion of the alcoholic fermentation, the wine matured for 16 months in French barriques before being bottled for final consumption.
