Domaine Wardy Merlot 2016
A beautifully full-bodied Merlot aged in French oak barrels for 24 months with a profile of soft pomegranate, cherry and plum, balanced by the sharpness of pine, thyme and rosemary and finished with the richness of dark chocolate, tobacco and mocha. Soft integrated tannins and a long finish.
The grapes are hand-picked from the Zahle and Dhour Zahle vineyards, macerated and left on the skins for 18 days, and fermented in stainless steel. The wine is matured in French oak barrels for 24 months.
