Zéro Merlot
Dealcoholised Merlot from southern France, made from night-harvested grapes to lock in freshness. Dark cherry and plum up front, with a thread of violet and gentle liquorice spice.
About This Drink
The grapes are harvested at night to preserve their aromatic character, then fermented cool before a controlled dealcoholisation strips the alcohol while keeping the polyphenols and tannins. It pours a deep ruby red. On the nose, black cherry and plum sit alongside earthy undertones and a faint oak note. The palate delivers ripe red and dark fruit with a violet lift and a touch of liquorice spice. Tannins are present but soft, and the finish is short and clean. It won't fool anyone for the real thing, but as a dealcoholised red it holds together better than most in this price range.
