Merlot “Naturalys” 2019 – Gérard Bertrand
£12.67
A dark red colour, delicately threaded with flashes of violet. The nose is an expression of pure fruit character showing blackcurrant and wild strawberry notes, with a touch of spice. Supple and aromatic on the palate with a smooth, elegant structure, soft tannins and a lingering finish.

They were then destemmed and macerated for 10 to 15 days in temperature controlled stainless steel vats. Frequent pump-overs took place to extract the fruit’s rich aromas, fine tannins and colour. Merlot “Naturalys” Gérard Bertrand was fermented and aged in stainless steel in order to display the purest expression of Merlot and bottled after six months.
