Why this works together

Gekozen op de kleur (rode wijn), het smaakprofiel uit onze webshop (robuust & intens), de druif (merlot), het land van herkomst (Frankrijk), het alcoholpercentage (13,5%) en de toon van eiken in de omschrijving. Tannine hecht zich aan het eiwit in rood vlees en verliest daar zijn stroefheid. Zonder dat eiwit blijft de wijn hard aanvoelen.

Serve at 16 to 18 °C.
