Recommendation for this bottle

At the table with Oxford Landing Estates Merlot

Rode wijn · Australië · 90% merlot, 10% cabernet sauvignon · 13,5%

Why this works together

Chosen for the colour (red wine), the flavour profile in our online shop (fruity & soft), the grape (merlot), the alcohol percentage (13.5%) and the notes of cherry, plum and aniseed in the description. Cabernet sauvignon has firm tannins and calls for red meat or mature cheese.

Serve at 16 to 18 °C.
