Malesan

With an ability to source fruit from a huge number of growers they are able to bottle a year in year out, consistent Merlot Cabernet blend.

Tasting Notes : A straightforward easy drinking claret with plenty of fleshy plum fruit on the nose, and clean red fruits plus more plum on the palate, all finished off with hints of cedary, cinnamon barrel ageing.
Producer : Malesan
Method of Production : Fruit was sourced from a wide range of growers across the Bordeaux appellation region. The grapes were destemmed, crushed and fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks with daily pumping over. Total contact time with the skins was 15 to 21 days before the wine was pressed into a combination of new and old French oak barrels for a minimum of six months. Once the final cuv�e was assembled, it was fined with egg white, filtered and bottled.

Vintage : 2005
Food Choice : Grilled dishes or meat served in a sauce, roasts, poultry, and cheese.
Grape Mix : 60% Merlot 30% Cabernet Sauvignon
