Maison Castel Bordeaux Merlot France 13.5% 750ml

Maison Castel, Touch of France wines, simple, easy to choose and pleasant to taste.

The Bordeaux AOC is one of the largest, and certainly one of the most famous, wine regions of France. Growing mainly red grape varieties, the Merlot is the predominant variety within the Bordeaux region where it is able to express its full potential.

After a short pre-fermentation maceration to extract the aromatic compounds from the skins, vinification takes place at a controlled temperature. 4-6 months ageing then enables the tannins to soften and gives the wine its spicy, oaky character.
