Barefoot Merlot 750ml - Item Code: 02104
Discover Barefoot Merlot 750ml:
Barefoot Merlot is a full-bodied red wine with a smooth, velvety finish. This wine is made from a blend of Merlot grapes grown in California’s Central Coast region. The grapes are harvested at the peak of ripeness and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness of the fruit. The result is a wine with aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and cherry, with hints of spice and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is rich and juicy, with flavors of blackberry, plum, and cherry, balanced by soft tannins and a hint of oak. The finish is long and smooth, with a lingering hint of spice. Enjoy Barefoot Merlot with grilled meats, pasta dishes, or a cheese plate.

Merlot is a popular red wine grape variety known for its smooth texture and fruit-forward flavor profile. Characterized by notes of black cherry, plum, chocolate, and raspberry, it often features aromas of blackberry, vanilla, cedar, tobacco, and green bell pepper. This medium to full-bodied wine is typically produced in renowned regions such as Bordeaux in France, California in the USA, Chile, Italy’s Tuscany region, and Australia.
The winemaking techniques for Merlot include cold maceration and fermentation in stainless steel or oak barrels to enhance its complexity. Malolactic fermentation is commonly employed to soften the wine’s tannins. Merlot pairs beautifully with grilled meats like beef and lamb, roasted vegetables, pasta with red sauce, and duck dishes. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for casual dining occasions such as barbecues and family gatherings while appealing to both seasoned red wine enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
