“Aplauz” series are top class varietal wines from regional or international grape variety, and always from one particular variety - monocépage . This Merlot wine is aged for 15 months in new oak barrels, boosting great aging potential over 10 years. Villa Melnik deserves "applause" for the hard work that the team has delivered to make this wine an international success.
Our Tasting notes: This wine has beautiful, intense dark garnet colour. Harmonious and noble nose with hints of leather, tobacco and sweet spices, earthy and subtle nuance of roasted strawberries and plums. Medium to full body wine with good tannins structure and excellent acidity with some freshness developing on the palate. Finishes dry with hints of leather and spices. Open at least an hour or two in advance in order to aired and open up.
Food match: red meat like steak beef, lamb, game (venison). Also good with barbeque meat and vegetables.
