Sunrock Vineyards 2020 Red Meritage

The Red Meritage has rich aromas of dark stone fruits, plums, cassis, and smooth luscious oak. The palate has flavours of baking spices, dark plums, dark cherries, mocha, and vanilla notes. The tannins are firm but approachable and the acid is soft. The finish is long with the flavours persisting long after the last sip.

Winemaker's Notes:

The grapes were picked at peak flavour ripeness and gently crushed and destemmed into stainless steel tanks and pumped over twice daily for 2 weeks. The wine then went through malolactic fermentation and then was blended together. It was then aged in a specially selected blend of French and American Oak barrels for 15 months. 80% Merlot and 15% Cab Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc.

Food Pairing:

This full-bodied wine has elegant structure and versatility. It is perfect when served with classics such as roast beef or pork, broiled lamb chops, braised venison, and rich stews; try it with chicken enchiladas in classic Molé, or spaghetti Bolognese.
