ABOUT THE OVATION MERLOT 2022

WINEMAKING	The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness levels and vinified in stainless steel tanks, malolactic fermentation in tank, racked of its lees thereafter. Once complete the wine is stabilised and stored until bottling.
TASTING NOTES	Inviting ripe red berries on the approach is supported by undertones of star anise and cinnamon. A truly classic and elegant Merlot. Wonderfully soft and subtle while the medium-bodied structure lingers well at the end. Ready to be enjoyed now
FOOD PAIRING	The Ovation Merlot pairs harmoniously with Mediterranean Lamb burgers, Roast chicken with Thyme and onions or Veal served with Portabello mushrooms. The well structured acidity of this Merlot also does surprisingly well with tomato based Italian dishes, such as Bolognaise, hearty stews and pizza with a meaty topping.
