Villa Gresti di San Leonardo 2013
San Leonardo's Villa Gresti is a red wine made from a selection of the Estate’s best Merlot grapes. A blend of Merlot (90%) alongside a small amount of Carménère (10%) the wine is fermented in concrete tanks before maturation in new and used barriques for 12 to 14 months followed by a further 12 months in bottle. Intense ruby red in colour it displays notes of tobacco and intriguing hints of vanilla and cocoa powder to the nose. The palate finds a perfect balance of softness and acidity with the sweet, elegantly assertive and velvet smooth tannins that are the hallmark of the Merlot grape variety. An ideal partner for red meat dishes, poultry, roasts, braised or stewed meats, game and mature cheeses.
