Marquis De Greyssac Kosher Bordeaux (75cl, 13.5%)

A Merlot-based kosher red wine from Bordeaux, produced by UniVitis. The blend is predominantly Merlot, approximately 85%, with Cabernet Sauvignon making up the balance. Grapes are grown on clay-limestone soils with areas of sand and boulbènes, pneumatic-pressed under temperature-controlled conditions, then aged for six months in stainless steel vats. It is certified OK Kosher and Mevushal. The nose opens with ripe strawberry and raspberry, subtle spice and a faint hint of blackcurrant. The palate is soft and approachable, with juicy plum and blackcurrant, light well-integrated tannins and a gentle mineral thread. The finish is medium in length, with dark berries and a clean, slightly mineral quality.
