A good wine needs good soil – and this is where the grapes for this Suvla Merlot take root. The ground here is very hard and stony, northwest winds and a salty sea breeze shape the climate. Two things that determine the terroir, the ripening time and the grape quality. On the nose, this dry red wine is extremely fresh and has a strong fruit taste, which is dominated by plum flavors. Cranberries, blackberries, sour cherries and pepper appear a little more restrained in the bouquet. The ingeniously integrated tannins put this wine, which has already been designed with many awards, in the limelight with a sensual and tart taste.
