Bratanov Merlot & Syrah Quel Mariage 2018

A Perfect Union of Merlot & Syrah

Tasting Notes

Bratanov Merlot & Syrah Quel Mariage 2018 is a beautifully balanced blend that showcases the harmonious marriage of Merlot and Syrah. Deep ruby red in colour, the wine opens with a complex bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and a hint of spice, complemented by delicate nuances of vanilla and toasted oak. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with velvety tannins and an elegant structure. Rich, ripe fruit flavours of black cherries, currants, and plums intertwine with layers of subtle smokiness and peppery spice. The wine's smooth texture and well-integrated acidity lead to a long, satisfying finish.
