At the table with Yalumba The Y Series Merlot

Rode wijn · Australië · merlot

Why this works together

Gekozen op de kleur (rode wijn), het smaakprofiel uit onze webshop (fruitig & zacht), de druif (merlot), het land van herkomst (Australië) en de tonen van rood fruit, pruim en kruiden in de omschrijving. Zonder zware tannine hoeft er geen vlees tegenover te staan; het fruit gaat prima naast tomaat en kruiden.

Serve at 16 to 18 °C.
