Single Vineyard Collection.
Tesco offers wine for every taste and pocket, and this Paul Mas Reserve Merlot 2023 from the Languedoc region is bound to be popular as we approach the festive season.
In my opinion the Languedoc produces some of the most underrated and best value wines available in the UK. The region enjoys around 300 days of sunshine each year although the winters present cold winds. Merlot is the second-most planted grape in the entire world and does well here.
Aged in oak barrels
Paul Mas Reserve Merlot 2023 is a good value wine with broad appeal. It is dry, has medium-full body with medium-high tannins and medium acidity. The wine has long maceration and is then aged in oak barrels, which adds plenty of depth and complexity. The deep red colour gives the expectation of a plum and black cherry-laden bottle, and it doesn’t disappoint.
Serve this wine between 15 – 18°C and open a little before pouring. Red wine-lovers will appreciate this Merlot served with savoury nibbles before dinner. This is a wine which pairs well with anything from a simple pasta to posh game roasts and full-flavoured cheeses.
