Wine Maker’s Notes

Plagios Red is a regional expression of carefully selected grapes of the French Merlot variety subjected to the microclimate of Pangeon. It is vinified in a conventional manner with an extended maceration period. It has undergone malolactic fermentation following which it matured for 16 months in new French oak barrels. This full-bodied, dry red wine has a dense mahogany red colour. Serve cellar cool at 16-18°C or age for up to 10 years easily.

Nose: Its nose entices with typical varietal aromas of red fruits, especially black cherry, pleasantly enveloped in scents of cedar wood, nutmeg and vanilla.

Palate: Expect a wonderful wine with a fruit-driven core of mellow plummy flavours and a hint of dark chocolate on a pleasantly long finish. The strong tannins are well integrated in its firm structure that gives it great ageing potential.

Pairings: Plagios Red teams up very well with a variety of stews and grilled meats with spicy sauces as well as fatty cheeses.

Tip: The shipping cost per bottle drops significantly the more bottles you buy. Join forces with friends and family to buy more bottles and bring the cost down.

Important notes:

-It is an offense to purchase or attempt to purchase alcoholic liquor if you are under the age of 18.
-The price includes safe packaging cost
